For everyday, I only use the long. I need at least 8 card slots (not just for 2-3 credit cards, but also driver's license, medical card, work id, gas card...), prefer more than one "bill" slot (in addition to $$, I like to keep appointment cards - even though I enter them into my calendar -as I've had issues with "challenged" appointments), and zippered coin compartment. Some version of a continental.
However, when I'm "going out" with a smaller purse, I prefer the smallest wallet I can manage (with just room for DL, one CC, and cash).
