Wooden broom handle would be the cheapest and can be sawed down to any length!

Exel X-tel 9' would be handy I guess.

may as well get a 17ft x-tel, only 4ft 6" sections and you can use it for "normal  upstairs windows as well."

A good size pole for downstairs is 3ft 6" x 3ft 6",i find it perfect as sometimes you do need that extra reach on large bays etc.Using a 17ft Xtel for downstairs aswell is to heavy allday.

x-tel poles are really quite light for fibreglass, slim too i've been using one lately 21' and it's not bad at all, a bit bendy maybe but ok.

You cannot go far wrong with a 13ft X-Tel as they really are very light easy to use and can still reach most standard domestic work.
