Hex head sockets

What kind do y'all use? I'm talking about the short shaft ones vs. the long shaft ones? Looking to buy a set and was wondering which one would be better for working on the bike.

I prefer socket sets....but then I'm a tool-aholic!! If I had to choose I would start with long arm then get short arm. Leverage being the reason.....also the reason I choose sockets.

Long arm to begin with. And a set of Ball-end ones as well.

Thanks guys, I just have the T-handle style now but have found that the socket style would be better and just wasn't sure which one to go with.
