Wilko Some may disagrre but personally it depends on size of bait im using.
Barbelling:
The majority of times I use size 12 & 10's hooks with a light 1.7lb bayer hair in conjunction with pre drilled pellets.
typically minimum of 10mm from bottom of hook when using single/ double 8mm, or a 10mm pellet/boiles.
15 to 20mm when using 12/14mm baits.
if chubbing shorten hair to couple of mil from hook ,or use a bait band.
Rule of thumb: -The smaller the hook to larger bait ratio then the longer the hair.
Some may disagree but im confident with this, so have
a bash and let me know how you get on.
