I am going to be starting on an RG Legacy in a few months and wanted  to get opinions on whether to do a 14 volt system or 28.

I chose 28v for several reasons (any one of which might be valid)

1.) Half the required amps required (10 amps at 14 v = 5 amps at 28v).

2.) Smaller wire ga. required = weight savings. 3.) Better cranking at low temp.

4.) Other glass ships (Cirrus and Columbia) went that route. For a better rationale from folks who know better try David Buckwalter at Avionics Systems: sales@avionikits.com . Robert M. Simon,  ES-P N301ES
