Really depends on the size and hull type you want to put in there. A long pontoon doesn't take up that much water but a heavy large carver will. If you have a sailboat will you take the centerboard out when you come in? There is no right answer but deeper is typically better (until you drop a tool or something overboard that you need to retrieve).

Another consideration would be repairs. Shallow docks are easier and less costly to repair, as are shorter docks. Again, this depends on where the dock is as well. Open to the broads will likely take more damage during ice out than in a small cove.
