I'm no expert on MySQL field types, but I'd be going for a varchar field of 50-ish (maybe more???)... the reason is that (from what I understand) varchar fields only take up as much room as the content, plus one or two bytes, so making them 50 vs 30 will offer no advantage, but may become a disadvantage down the track.
It'd be worth checking the MySQL manual though.
