For "How to" type hubs- concise is best. Bullet points help.
It depends on what the topic is, and how much it takes to fully explain it, or fully get a point across. Also, keep in mind the author tries to become an authority for the topic in Google for higher pageranks. This process allows flagship or longer hubs to become the most knowledgeable to the human eye.
