Hey tazzman
The length of your leader and how you build it will greatly depend on several factors
1) what type of tip you are fishing, shorter 4 to 6 feet with a sink tip and up to 12 or 15 feet with a dry tip
2) water clarity the dirtier the water the heavier tippet you can get away with
3) what type of fish are you going after some are more leader shy than others
I also use a RIO versa tip system and on all of the sinking tips I have about 2 or 3 feet of 20 or 25 lb tippet and will add about 2 to 4 feet of 10 lb when fishing for the Pinks I rarely fish more than 5 or 6 feet of mono on the sink tips.
On my slime line I go about 4 or 5 feet of mono as the line is already clear.
On the dry tip I will occasionally fish tapered leaders of 12 to 16 feet or make my own starting with 3 feet of 25lb 6 feet of 15lb and then add 3 feet or more of whatever tippet I choose to fish.
I also fish fluorocarbon for the final tippet if the water is fairly clear
