Medium Terms contract at the early stage of the career & then after age of +45 certainly a long term contract is the option (my perspective)
I prefere Short term contracts, i think about it from the perception of not feeling comfortable in the position or work place I will be able to quit this job easily.
Type of contract depends upon an individual's own personality traits. Few people like the comfort of having long term engagement that will provide time to get settled with current environment while others consider short term contracts as an opportunity to explore new challenges more frequently.
If it is my dream job, then I would love to do it for the rest of my life or in a long term contract.
Short term jobs developed the new knowledge but long term job revolving in only one organization.
Long term contracts will allow me to plan for my family future with more secure, knowing that i will be able to go on with my plans with confidence due to insuring that i have a stable income and job, also long term contracts will allow finding another job easily, in my opinion, as long as i stay in the same job and expending my experience in it, i will be able to be hired by a different companies.

In fact my answer will be (both), but it's depend on the each contract benefits individually. Also the advantages of contract define what is my choice and how much I can gain more experience. What is more important is that it be a position where I can utilize and improve my skills. What is the environment that will be more suitable for me.
It will depend on your needs.
Short term contracts are good when you are trying to learn new things and get experience.
Long term contracts will help you to settle down in life and plan the life.
In case of good confidence the short term contract will be automatic renew for same period several times. same as presidential election extended periods4x4 till reach30-40 years in president position.
On the other hand, the long term contract may be quit off at any time as a result of contractor's willing or contractee's willing with the legal notice period.
That means nothing will give the security for job continuity untill Allah's support.
Whatever the opportunity you have gain, go through it and don't hesitate. It will be the best for you.
