I have built up my roll twice with 100/50 buyins by playing $1 and $2 turbo SNGs (0.86/0.14 and 1.72/0.28). The rake is high but there are no regs worth mentioning. I also have a rakeback deal (no idea what I'm getting honestly, all I know is it works).
Anyway, depends on the playerpool (more regs?), the size of your roll and rakeback. But it is definitely doable.
Both options are ok, it really depends on what you're most comfortable with - it's still a bit demoralizing to lose 20 buyins at the highest stakes you are playing ($100 at the fives), so that's something to consider. However, if you have the funds and believe in your skills, the higher buyins (less rake?) make sense, no?
