I agree, small small is my preferred, but you do have to run it through the derailleur. Sometimes that takes three hands.

OldPotatoe's picture might have blocked the tool he uses to qualify length.
Take an old spoke, I use welding wire, or wire coat hanger (do they even have these any more?). Bend each end just past 90 degrees. Hook the ends through the chain links and move one end a link at a time to get that "just right" spot on the rear derailleur. Hold the dangling chain ends together to determine where to open the chain for a quick link or pin.
