short is for fine small work. long is for bigger spots. i've see if you can bang it flat or as close to flat as possible before you fill anything.

If you can pop that out, you should be ok to use the short. If you have to go thicker than 1/4", that's about when I use the long strand. Or on an area which will see a lot of stress, but your dent isn't a high stress area.
