You need to balance the potential inconvenience of having a too long hose on every single dive versus the very unlikely chance that you will ever have to share air. I just use a short primary and accept the fact that the victim is going to be in my face.
If you want to run a longer hose - which I don't think is the wrong decision- then make sure you have figured out a hose routing method that WORKS and doesn't leave a ridiculous loop of hose sticking out from your side and getting caught on everything.
Possibly a longer hose with a swivel routed under the arm? I'm not sure, but try to get advice from people who are using the setup you have, rather than advice from people who say: "don't do that".
