It depends on a couple factors. If you're skinny and have veins clearly visible on the surface, 5/16" is fine. For me, I have no surface veins left and am overweight, so I have to dig for veins so can't even use anything shorter than 1/2".
Gauge is more clear cut, almost always it's just the higher (i.e. smaller diameter) the better. The only real exception is if you're shooting something really dirty and dont have good enough filters to prevent a clog. 31g is the best, you really don't want to go below 27g.
CC's just depend on how much water you need to totally dissolve your drug of choice, or just preference. I always use 1cc and fill it to 70 units, whether I'm shooting a bag or a bun. Others use 1/2cc.
The exchanges here have 30g 1cc 1/2", which is pretty much perfect.

I always preferred 1cc, since it can hold more. Although, as of 10/31/16, it's been a year since I shot heroin, or anything else, for that matter. I get by just fine on Oxy 20mg IR, and simply take them orally. Over the past year or so, although I miss the rush, I can't see me going back to the needle. This length of time has put things in perspective for me. Sure, on some level I do miss the whole procedure of shooting up, but the longer I'm away from it, the easier it is to stay away.I'm very grateful for that, I might add. This whole thing has been a blessing in disguise, believe me.
