Everyone's system is different, I used to do 5 week primaries for everything, but since switching to 1 gallon and having to keep the pipeline moving, everything gets a 2 week primary unless over 1.080 then its 3 weeks, and either bottles directly or racked to secondary if it gets dry hopped or is a giant beer that I want to bulk age for a few more weeks like my barleywine. Thats the time that I use to get the most out of my yeast(as far as diacetyl and acetaldehyde clean up) but still keep me with room to put new beers without a ton of primaries.
I'm up to 4 primary and 4 secondary and I usually have 3 of each full so that I can rack into one if needed.
