When you are looking to register a new domain name at whichever domain name registrar you use, do you try to find short names or descriptive domains for your registrations?

For me i prefer finding shorter domain names over descriptive ones although im the first to admit, finding shorter, 2 word domains often takes longer to find a match than a 3+ word descriptive domain name does.

So which of the two do you prefer when it comes to registering domain names for a new project, short names or, descriptive ones?
