Out on the local heathland I would not now wear any style other than a reverse Kingussie.
I found that forward facing pleats were snagged by branches, but the rear facing pleats allow for easy passage, and they tend to wrap around rather than fly up.
For length - again, if you are going to be outside in all weathers, the lower edge of the kilt should not be low enough to be caught in the bend of the knee, for it is dreadfully uncomfortable, and will strip the skin off the back of your knees - I know, I have done it - and once was enough.
I'd suspect that deep pleats and lots of fabric would not go so well as a heavy cloth and modest pleating.
