you have to see for yourself what your team is best at doing.

if your team suits to play better with direct style of play then you should go for it.

but make sure the players who are good at passing in your team have more mixed and closer to short passing style.
I think, if the tactic is widely, quickly and passing directly, the players have to have good stamina and passing ability.
oic, thanx dude. so is it field length also effect the passing style?
What I think:

Long fields prefer direct passing style, because there is more space behind the enemy defense to move into.

If you're playing a counter attacking game you would want to have a quick tempo and a long passing style to quickly move the ball from your half into the opponent's third.

Also think about your formation: if you're playing a wide formation (e.g. 451, 442 wide diamond etc) you are going to want to move the ball quickly to your wingers to play crosses in. i.e. Fast tempo, direct passing, wide play.

Conversely, short passing games better suit a controlled style with a tighter formation. If you believe your players are not as pacey and not so technical but are strong and good from range, you can play a slow, short and tight game to build from the center and get within a dangerous distance.

For me personally, I use a fluid, short and quick passing game with the aim to dominate possession and control the game. By doing so my players move the ball quickly waiting to expose and exploit gaps in my opponents defence.
