When I started with 3/16 there were very limited fittings, so I had 5/16 drops (not knowing that was better anyway). Then, once 3/16 taps came into play I started going with 3/16 drops (no need for a 5/16 to 3/16 straight connector, the only option at the time). So my woods are currently a mess of many different styles of drops. But by next season I will have it all converted over to 5/16 drops. From the info that I have just recently read up on, it's the way to go. It'll also simplify what I need to keep at the ready for fittings & spouts.
