Need input about Superflex League, how many BN spots is ideal?

[DrRazvi 12]

1st year converting our 12-team Auction Keeper League to Superflex. .5ppr, $200 Budget. 

Here is our starting lineup:

1QB, 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1W/R/T, 1QWRT

(3QB roster limit)

My question is: If any of you have this type of setup, how many BN spots do you typically have? 

I cant decide between 5 & 6. 

Any input from people in similar formats would be appreciated.

The number of bench spots highly affects strategy. With short benches you encourage trading; with deep benches you encourage peoplee delving into teams and finding sleepers.

I would say 5 here is the minimum, but 7 isn't bad either, if that fits your league.
