Anything under 8 ft is not worth even setting up a pole IMO.
Oh, I'd personally go for tall on carpet.
Luvlee is right! The height benefits far outweigh any of the hardwood floor benefits.
after having 100's of rug burns from dancing on carpet I'd put it on hardwood. But a lot of that depends on what sort of dancer you are, if you are an aerialist you might want it taller. I spend a lot of time on the floor or would like to, but get tired of the carpet burns. I'm also a person who likes to dance in heels which is hard to do on carpet. and ouch if you do a foot drag sexy walk barefoot .... if you want the best of both worlds pull up the carpet or make a platform on the carpet. Which is what we are getting ready to do because I HATE carpet after dancing on it for 4 years.
7'4" is not really tall anough for inverts especially if you plan on ever wearing heels.
Tall pole! But yes, depends on what you'd mostly be doing on it.. inverts n' tricks or lots of spinning on your toes (hardwood floor). But I would definately go for the tall pole hands down.. omg I would kill for an 11ft pole! lol..
the pole I most like playing on is a brass one that I doubt is over 7ft tall but on a nice smooth floor. I'd rather dance on it for 15 minutes then spend 2 hours on my one here in the house that is closer to 9 ft tall on carpet. and I dance on the short one in 8 inch heels with no problem, including inverts, climbs, laybacks. Maybe I'm comfortable that way because until this year I couldn't climb more then a scooch or two anyway lol .
or why not one in each area :)
