heavy bag question

I've decided to put up a heavy bag in my basement using a wall mount. Now all I need to figure out is what kind of heavy bag to get!

Could you guys give me some info on different types of bags and possibly help me figure out which one to buy?

I've seen a tko 125lb 6 foot thai bag at a local store and a tko 100lb regular heavy bag. Would one of these be ok?

any info or help is appreciated!

I wasn't sure if a 6 feet is ideal...I was looking at the fairtex website and I saw a bunch of 4 footers.
