Same, I will only use something smaller if I do not care about whatever the password is for (like signing up to some random sight one time) or if I absolutely need to be able to remember it. But even then it will include symbols, numbers and upper and lowercase letters.

Same here. I use a non standard encryption method and a mix of locked archives and encrypted flash drives for storing the source.
