Depends where you are going. 5m should be ample for Harrisons and Bowles where the bolts are, with only a few exceptions, very close to the edge. In most cases a normal sling will be long enough.
Longer statics are required at Eridge and High Rocks, in some cases up to 20m, where at the former it would be useful to bring a platoon of Ghurkas to hack a way through the vegetation at the top. For a first visit to SS I wouldn't bother in investing in too much new rope or expolring Eridge. High Rocks is great but as has been said pricey, and it's probably best to go there for the first time with someone who is familiar with the climbs.
There is loads to do at both Harrisons and Bowles if you don't have more than a couple of normal slings.
As has been said Isolated Boulder is a good starting point for Harrisons as is Unclimbed Wall area both with an abundance of quailty 5bs and 5cs.
I see from your profile that you climb at E1 so I recommend all of the following at Harrisons:-
Isolated Buttress Climb 4b - A good warm up
Birchden Wall 5b - a 3 star classic
Diversion 5c - Tricky middle moves!
Birchden Corner 5c - Another 3 star classic
Crowborough Corner 5c - Hint move slightly left at top of crack!
Wailing Wall 5c - Hard in the grade
West Wall 5c - Get warmed up first
Edward's Effort 6a - Again get warmed up on others before you try this
Far Left 5c - Pleasant 2 star
Elementary - Another pleasant 2 star
Unclimbed Wall 5b - Another 3 star classic. The 5c direct start is IMHO a nicer climb
Zig Zag Wall 5a - Fun and a chance to wind down Another 3 star classic
Zig Zag Nose 5c - Strenuouus with a delightful rock over through the bulge
If you are not knackered after all these go back pat Isolated Boulder and on for a couple of hundred yards to
The Niblick 5b - Yet another 3 star classic and in my opinion the best climb of it's grade on Sandstone because it's got a bit of everything in it. A crack, followed by a hand traverse, followed by a layback move, followed by a bridging move and second easier layback, followed by a delicate slab, leading to a final chimney which is too narrow to get your body into and too wide to jam - very difficult to do gracefully! All in all a very interesting climb all the way up. Two ther interesting routes on this block include Pincenib Right Edge 5c just to the right, and round to the left in the corner Forester's Wall 5b
And before anyone jumps on me for what I haven't mentioned I emphasise that these are some of my favourites. There are loads more.
I was going to recommend my favourite Bowles climbs, but I don't think you will have time to do Bowles as well in a day.
All that's needed now is for someone else to tell you all their Bowles favourites and you won't have time to go to Harrisons!
