Living hinge question

What width of the living hinge are most people using and had good experience with? I had planned to use a hurricane hinge but for the sake of time and reducing complexity for a variety of issues I'm thinking of using the plastic hinge. I have a piece of the extreme duty from McMaster Carr that is long enough that I picked up for whatever reason for something else that is 2" wide. Anyone have a problem not going with the 3" hinge?
