How many players in a game do you prefer?

I think seven is about the right number of players for PBW and multiplay. Many of the classic multi-player board games, like Diplomacy, have seven players. Seven works well because things stay fluid - there is no inevitable groupings of teams like there would be for four or six players (2v2 or 3v3). Plus, in PBW anyway, seven moves pretty fast.
