i'm 6' and i use a regular for warmer weather bags, long for colder weather. if you compress the down (if your feet are really pushing at it) it loses its insulation value. if you don't feel the down compressing, you're alright in the regular. also, if you're a side sleeper you can generally make do with the shorter bag since you don't extend your body all the way.

I am 6'0" and need the long in all my sleeping bags. The longs are ~3" too long for a 6' but the regular isn't long enough IMO.

My experience is that it's better to have more room than not enough, especially if you need it. As far as heat loss is concerned, you can always fully mummy up if you have to.

My husband is exactly 6' tall too, and tested the Marmot Pinnacle sleeping bag, which seems very similar to the Helium. In the Reg size, he had his feets touching the end of the bag, and was unable to put them straight. So he decided to take the Long one. I think you will enter in the Regular, but perhaps the Long is more comfortable (I don't know for the heat loss...)
