I like the MSR Lightnings as they are available in 30" length; if you're in packed snow conditions all the time you can go shorter- if you encounter powder much you want the 30" length AND the tails
30" is plenty nimble for snowshoes
I have shorter snowshoes and if I know for sure it's going to be packed snow, I'll take them, if it's powder or a question mark- then the Lightnings; if I was forced to own just one pair, it would be an easy choice
