Dude, the longer epics, most of their best songs are epics; Stardust We Are, The Truth Will Set You Free, Devil's Playground, I Am the Sun (two parts but still)

oh man, sorry I wasn't clear, but with TFK, I meant "The Flower Kings", this is not about every band in general

medium long although some of the best Doors songs would fall into the short epic as well.

6-11 fits best ...    there you can find a lot of progressive longtracks, but also art pop tunes from Pink Floyd and others.

For me it's a tough call between their medium/long songs and their mini-epics.  While their short songs are usually pretty nice, of course it's the longer ones that are really great.  However, some of their really long epics tend to drag a bit in places.  Not always, of course there are exceptions, but I think when they go over 20 minutes, the chances of their being some superfluous stuff increases.  So it's a toss-up between 6-11 and 11-18 for me. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

The Flower Kings have always been their best in the longer songs. I'm inclined to vote for the longest category, but the 11-18 minutes category includes some great tunes like "Silent Inferno."

What kind of TFK songs are your favorites?

Short: the ones ranging from 2-6 minutes. Usually short instrumentals, tight and more accessible tunes.

Medium/long: Songs ranging from around 6-11 minutes. Usually those well developed tunes with long instrumental sections.
 
shorter epic: those epic-structured 11-18 min long songs that they usually do in every album.

longer epics: the longest stuff.

This is about TFK (The Flower Kings), not every band in general!
