It depends entirely on the dog, the handler, the club, and what you're doing! 6-8 ft leather leash is pretty standard. 15-30 foot long line, depending on the dog. 15' line for a tie out, IMO. I don't use a bungee, but I've got an adult dog.

I use this line either on his harness or collar, depending on what we're working on: http://leerburg.com/718.htm
Some people don't like the large clasp, but I find it a lot easier along with the wider line when my hands are cold. Are you back-tying him on a pole or something? We always use a bungie for that, usually with a second line or tab for some ob.
I think there's a really long bungie line at the club also for adding a little resistance on a courage test.

What I've found as a good set-up in the past:
Start with a center post that will rotate, and insert a larger smooth ring as an attachment point.
A 15 foot long 3/8" climbing rope ( breakage stress tested at over 2000 ft/pounds ) , and attach quality carbineers for connecting at both ends.
Attach the line to the center pole and walk the circle out at the end of the line at 15 feet, and *permanently* mark this outer circle as a safety precaution.
The handler can use a 4 or 6 foot leash on a collar for additional control while the dog is attached to a quality harness via the carbiner.
This set-up makes for a very safe method to train for the decoy/helper ( they know *exactly* where the line of engagement is, and they don't have to rely on the handler holding the dog back ).
