Correction: I would like an 8' bed, but I need a cab with room in the back and I need a short enough wheelbase to fit where I need it to fit. I also need a hidden winch which cannot be mounted with an ECO. I need the added payload offered by the 9.75. I do appreciate your offer to inform me of what I need though. I'm sure you didn't understand that I am capable of determining my own needs.

You should have done voting buttons.
I have a screw 5.5 and I wish I'd have purchased the 6.5 ft instead. I need that extra foot about once a month.
I'd recommend the 6.5 but definitely would never want the super cab. I use the rear interior space carrying gear every weekend.

I've never hauled anything in my old 8' beds that don't also fit in my 5.5 now. Just hangs out a few more inches is all. I got by with a 4 ft sport trac bed for years and also hauled a ton of long lumber in it.

Looking for a 6.5' bed Platinum in Blue Jeans at the moment. Only 6.5's at my go to dealers are White, which I am not opposed to, just would rather have the Blue Jeans or Ruby Red... Coming from Ram 2500 with 6+' and F250 previous to that...

My lidless trunk has hauled large chest freezers, 36" wide refrigerators, plywood, ladders, lumber, furniture, cab high trash and recycling, and who knows what else. Not once have I needed a longer bed, but if I needed to pick up 12+ft sheets of drywall then maybe.
