That's a tough call. I've been experiementing with 900 flying for a few months...the long legs are nice in that you fly 1-2, or maybe 3 legs per day and have a lot more energy to work out and go out at the end of the day.
The shorter legs are fun in that you are flying into smaller fields and have more discretion as to how you do business...but 4-6 legs will suck the life out of you. I've found that most of the hard work is done on the ground...multiple turns, especially with swaps, is a lot more work than fewer turns, even if block time is equal.
