Ride question - Short hammer or longer cruise?

So I'm getting a lot more comfortable on the bike, wth the new pedals and all. So now my question becomes length.. Always seems to come to that doesnt it..

So I am now riding about 15 miles, averaging 13mph or so.. I can push it and hammer to about 16 for short periods.. but that means I bonk and shorter rides. I'd like to ride longer, but not so sure I want to cruise at 10mph.

So which is better, a longer ride, say 20-25 at 13, or a shorter ride, 15 or so at 16?

I think I will enjoy the longer rides more, so might be more likely to do that, but from a benefit perspective, what do you think?
