Quarter for my early morning commute. It's annoying to have a stripe of cold on my ankle when the leg warmers don't overlap. In warmer temps, quarter or really short are ok.

One low should be just about right. No higher than the high end of your ankle.

If it's hot you want less sock. If it's cold you wear overshoes and sock length doesn't matter.
However the primary consideration is a cool graphic.

Actually ... if it is cold it does matter. One of the best ways to keep your feet warm is to keep your lower legs warm. Be the duck!!

In cold weather I wear a thin polypro sock, then a heavy wool knee length sock, then my tights and shoes, and then booties. That combo keeps my feet nice and toasty in cool-cold conditions.
