Emirates layover destinations and bidding system

Hi. I've been invited to an assessment and have a couple of questions.

I've been going through many of the EK threads but have not found any list of which medium/long haul destinations are layover and which are turnarounds. I found on another site but that info was more than 5 years old..
Is there a set length for the sector, i.e 6h or something, that determines whether there are 2 crew overnighting or 3-4 crew turnaround? For example, is HAM or CPH an overnight?

What seems to be the most preferred type of routes people are bidding for? I mean, if you'd prefer ULH, what are the chances of getting many of that? Or if you'd prefer to be back at base and bid for that, does it tend to happen? I understand that depends on type, which group you're in at the time and seniority etc but in general, what seems to be the most popular among the crew?
Cheers!
