Go with a Short one. A Resume is a way of giving a basic idea about who you are and where possibly could you fit within their company/environment. Longer Resumes are hard to read. Employers do not want to sit through pages of a Resume that you might think is worth reading. They want "instant gratification" which means "is this candidate good enough to call for an interview" and nothing more than that. A long Resume would be great if it could decide whether you should be hired or not but that is not the case (barring some exceptions). So keep it short and simple. The bigger (read bloated) your Resume is, the more chance of the employer passing on it because they cannot find the bottomline.
"There's only so much interview time and a bad hire can destroy a team."
You can write anything on a Resume to sell yourself initially. A bad hire is not due to resume filtering capability but it is due to bad interviewing in person and depends on the judgement of the interviewer(s) at the time.
