Throat guards

[MattLipinski]

I use a Wilson face mask with the extension at the bottom that's supposed to protect the throat. My chest protector is a Pro Nine that tucks nicely up to the throat but I still need to add a dangling throat protector to the bottom of the mask -- too many fouls bounce off the ground and get up there under the mask.

Here's my question: With the fixed mask extension, do members recommend the shorter 4" or the full 6" throat guard?
