Diving into balanced

Hi everyone. I’m making the jump to separates and as such am thinking that balanced is the way to go (unless people here say otherwise). If my preamp sits exactly 12" above my amp would you suggest a .5m balanced cable or longer? It seems like it should work fine but i’m not familiar enough with the ends to be sure.

Looking to hear from everyone’s experiences. Thanks!

Thanks all.  As a follow up, is it well accepted that balanced is better?

Thanks everyone for the responses.  I am currently set up with my new gear in a temporary fashion.  Long term I will need longer cables for my (yet to be upgraded) streamer.  At that time I'll add balanced to both the pre amp and streamer I would imagine.  

Come to think of it I don't love that as I know you should only change one item at a time. So maybe do the balanced preamp cables (1M or more 🤣) well before the streamer arrives.  

So far so good on this upgrade though....thanks again!
