Any Thoughts on Hotend Lead Length?

I'm getting ready to wire a new hotend, and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on a good lead length. In the past, I've had a problem with short leads breaking from repeated flexing. I'd be interested in hearing what has worked for others. Thanks.

When in doubt, leave a lot of slack wire. Then you can wrap it up around some post or some printed frame to tidy things up.
