Generally I prefer longer books in any genre, including SF. This doesn't mean I don't buy or read shorter books, but I do have a tendency to choose longer works. My eyes lit up at the thought of a big, juicy 1000-pages SF novel.

I almost never read paper books these days, but when I did, my preference still was for longer books.
