What drip tape is everyone using? Size, mil thickness, emitter spacing, and or layout design?

I have 5/8 16 mil 8" emitter spacing for the tape. Main is 50ft 5/8" supply tubing by raindrip. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the weight of the vines is cinching the tape and im not getting full coverage. I may try the drilled out main line next year and snake it through. I could attach further length if needed. The main won't bend under weight like the tape seems to be

toro aqua traxx 8 mil, 6" emitter spacing (I have done 4" too). Set about 16-18" apart. Almost always perpendicular to the main vine. 3/4" tubing used as a header line.
