I set all passwords to 64 characters or the maximum allowable characters. So, it's not long or random, but rather long and random. That said, I'd advocate aiming for 96 to 128 bits of entropy - beyond that you just have a password that's tricky to type in, in cases where you cannot copy and paste (eg: boot password). So for large and small letter, numbers and a handful (10) of special characters, that comes to 21 random characters (Log2(72^21)~129).
