Bray Wyatt should be champion for the next 13 years.

Seriously though I find longer reigns to be more suited to heels. Lesnar could have never lost the title a couple years ago and I'd still be cool with him as champ (ignoring everything that's happened to him since he lost it obviously). Heels are willing to go further and use more extreme measures to win so it makes sense for them to reign longer than a face who typically plays by the rules all the time. Guys who sit on the edge of the heel/face line are especially suited for long reigns; the crowd loves the antihero these days.

In general, id like 3 to 6 months for faces, 8 to 12 for a heel. If someone catches fire during their reign then maybe run it over a year and see how far you can take it. The right guy with a good 18 month reign could set them up with a long term star for years and years to come.
