As far as size goes, the "sweet spot" for hexes seems to be the #5 - #8.

Personally, I will say #6-8. I rarely use #5, and I use #9 more often than #5, but I still don't use the 9 as often as 6,7, and 8.
Sure, that could go either way.

I'm also on the east coast (PA) and certain kinds of cracks just won't take cams (e.g. like cracklover mentioned), but hexes rock. Especially the "V" type formation where a nut is just too straight, and a cam would have no hope of staying in... but the hex is bomber. I'll have to dig and try and find a pic.
