Well, the record length common kingsnake (L.getula) was said to be 82 inches and was a wild Eastern getula x floridana intergrade from S. Georgia as I recall. I wouldn't say "all" S.Georgia's are going to be any bigger than Eastern getula by any means, because both can get quite large. It really depends on their genetic predisposition for size from both parents, and how much prey they can consume during their lives, especially in the first several years of life.
Their dispositions can vary quite a bit too from individual to individual, but as a general rule, both are usually very easy going and make good captive pets.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either one to be quite honest, or even a huge Florida king..
