What would be the ideal size of needle size and how long. For injecting.

I use a 19 gauge but sometimes I have trouble sealing the injection site. Infusions can happen very quickly (20 minutes/L)
Others use a 21 gauge: easier to seal the injection wound (to the point where they can pump afterwards, which must feel amazing for them) but it can take a long time for the infusion to complete (over an hour)
This is just going on my memory which might not be complete or accurate at this moment
