I was wondering what type of system people with lots of chins use? I want to stop having to clean so many bottles lol. Specifically what type of fount, like diaphragm or spring, and 3/16" or 5/16" water tubing?
 
5/16" is the standard size. Bunnyrabbit.com sells complete kits which are best to start with until you get an idea of what parts you need. Once you've got an idea you can hunt for cheaper options. I've had a lot of issues with the inside diameter on pipe recently. Seems the 5/16 of now is not the 5/16 of yesteryear and I get a lot of leaks around the nozzles with off brand tubing.
 
The one pictured should work fine. I use many different varieties that are between 20-60 years old. If you search on here you will find old photos and some videos of me cleaning my system and nozzles.
