If you *know* that the length of text cannot or must not exceed n
characters, use VARCHAR(n); otherwise use TEXT.
There is no performance loss from using TEXT.

"I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto
me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath
put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the
LORD." Psalms 40:1-3
