I never played 8, so i can't really give you a comparison. Well, i've played my cousin's maxed out file randomly and that kind of stuff, but it isn't really fair for judging. ( I was young back then)
I prefer 7 though because of the randomness in it and probably nostalgia... I was 9 when I first encountered the 'Honey Bee Inn', replayed it at age 19 and i was totally amused by how much went over my head back then.
Story-wise, don't be fooled. a lot of people paint out cloud to be 'moody' or 'emo'. but don't buy into it, he's got a wider range than that. You'll get silly moments as well as eerie/dark ones as well.
Length of gameplay... i think my most recent main story playthrough was about 30 hours, but I've played through it before. There's some pretty good post-game challenges too though, with some pretty OP materia (the games' customization system) as well as postgame bosses that give you plenty of reason to hunt them. Along with other secrets to find in the game. The minigames are also plentiful, and WERE passable for the time period, now they just feel like crap and will probably annoy you.
