Consensus around here is 7-10%the chord of the wing. Some say they work, some say not... I’d try at 7% and if you get no significant change move them back a half inch at a time.
Because the wings, all Kitfox and avid, have such high lift characteristics you may find to take advantage of any gains from VGs you may also have to install gap seals on the empennage and larger main tires for better(higher) AOA while landing.
