I have a 6 mile one way commute, which is what I do in the AM, using one of 3 routes of roughly equal length. But I have and use the option to make a ride of it on the way home, with various loops running up to 30 miles. I decide based on mood, weather, and whatever errands I might have along the way.
IMO, this it the best of both worlds, nice short 20 minute commute, and nicer longer commute if I feel like it.
