Default Registration Redux: Does It Help to Register for Ten Years?

Not a new topic, but one on which I have never formed a solid conclusion: does registering one's domain for a long period help with the site's placement?

It seems logical to me; a longer registration is not likely to be a fly-by-night spammer. On the contrary, it indicates a long term view of one's business.

Is it more likely that search engines see a shorter registration when *coupled* with other spammy techniques as one more indication of spam, but do not factor in a positive for longer terms?

What do you think? Any evidence either way?
