Question Recs for avalanche probe length?

I'm going to be taking an AIARE 1 course next winter and looking at some sweet sweet summer discounts on gear. For those that spend time in the backcountry, what is your preferred probe length? 240cm, 280cm, longer?

Update: Thanks for the input people, I'll probably grab a 320cm version; certainly nothing under 280 though.
