I always default to the longest setting, although I do make sure to check it in early if I finish it so the next person doesn't have to wait as long.
But many people don't know how to return an eBook early or they just don't bother since it will automatically go back. The problem is that when the library has a 3 week loan, accounts are automatically set for the 3 weeks instead of 2 weeks more reasonably. To be honest, I think 3 weeks is too long and loans should be 2 weeks maximum. With the new hold feature, eBooks can easily be managed so not to have to have too many ready to borrow so 2 weeks is not enough time to read.
