longer or more often?

Once you have established a base fitness level, what is the best way to maintain it - are shorter, more frequent runs better, or fewer longer runs?
Time for running is a bit of a juggle for me so I'm trying to decide between doing 3x20min hard + 1 35min easy + 1 long (60-80min) OR 2x40 min + 1 long.
My thoughts are that it's probably better to keep the momentum going even if I only get out the door for 20min.
What do others think?

Probably the best thing would be a balance somewhere between the two extremes. Maybe do one 20 minute hard session then exchange the other two for a 40 minute run, then keep the 35 minute and long runs.
