5 mm are suitable for feathers, which are put vertically.
Those of 8 were used with syringe and pinch.

It doesn't matter pen or syringe, the length depends on your body, that is, if you are a thin person it is better that you use short needles since with the lengths when clicking you could reach the muscle, which causes insulin to absorb too fast andTherefore, have hypoglycemia
