I totally prefer 3-levels one, followed by 5-level ones. I don't feel PrCs should be long, because they should provide some specialized benefits, tied to the organization of the PrC... and then finish.
And since few games last more than a dozen levels, a shorter PrC is a lot more rewarding to play, since you actually reach your capstone, and can say "I'm a Master of Blah-Blah-Blah".
