It really just depends on the criteria that you put as a short, medium and long fight. Because the definitons that I have for those three categories are most likely very different than the ones that I'd say most other users have. Which in case you don't know, goes something like this:

Short Fights: Lower than 2,000 words.

Medium Fights: 3,000 - 4,000 words.

Long Fights: 5,000 words or higher.

Plotline-Level Fights: 10,000 words or higher. Most fights with a 5-digit word count is recommended to have some sort of plot going along with it in the fight, whether simple or complicated. Though, it doesn't just restrict to just 10,000+ word fights. You can still have a plot with a fight lower than that.

Now, with that said. My personal bag for me is usually long fights. It's mostly because of how high my expectations can get, and while I have nothing against keeping fights nice and short or just in the middle when it comes to length, sometimes I'll finish reading wanting a little more. Though, if a fight has combatants with abilities very limited, then of course it's not recommended to try to shoot for a long fight, as it would most likely end up resulting to inserting filler or dragging it on for too long. So in that instance, yes, I prefer medium length fight.

And alongside this, I've always been really critical to fights that I've done in the past, as for me I tend to dislike a ton of old episodes and even entire seasons. One battle of which I made in Season 1 is a fight I consider to be one of the worst on the wiki (You likely know which one I'm talking about) in general. So I just try to make my fights infinitely better than what I did in those days.

So there you go, just some insight as to how my bizarre mind works.
