Parachute Static Line?

There was a question posed on parachute static lines from a previous thread that I don't think was addressed. How do you configure one? How long and strong a cable and what kind of clips to use? Some cockpits have an attachment ring for this purpose, but where do you clip it for those that don't?

Original Post: "Any comments on static lines?
My S-H glider has an in cockpit attachment point for a static line.
I am interested in comments on bailing out in am emergency.
Not as interested in the captain obvious comments like "you could accidentally open your chute after a normal landing getting out of your glider". That is implicit and obvious.Thoughts on actual emergency bailouts, static line versus regular D handle?"
