I know you can use 5-6mm with a trolley-backpack you get better pressure,some guy`s on here use 40-50 meters of it and use it like a hosereel.

50 M would do me to be honest

Microbore is good over 50mtrs,.. some ppl have pump/controller issues with 100mtrs microbore, so if you were going any further I'd defo recommend minibore.
There's a guy on ebay selling 30 mtrs of 5mm ID braided pvc hose for £10 + postage.
