I've got a 11-36 cassette and I'm running a 1 x 10 with a 32 in the front so what length cage on the derailleur would I need?? Thanks in advance!

Short with the B screw maxed. 

Medium or long will give you the option of running a wider range without needing a new derailleur

A medium cage (GS) is what you want.

Medium cage is sufficient for whatever 1x combo you decide to run even with a wide range cassette.  Long cage is honestly just a greater opportunity to smack it on rocks, branches, etc...
