I have always used around 60" for single speed and 63" for fixed off road.
60" is great for uphills, single track etc,. but too low when fixed on the road sections.
Both are too low for longer road rides but if your 5 road miles are mostly up hlll then it may be less of a compromise and I would go for around 60". Too high and it takes the fun out of it when off road (unless you are racing sscx and ignore that as you will be going faster!)
