No-dachi or O-dachi, the difference being length of handle and the length of blade. but there is also the original name and version of the katana, called the tachi that was very long and was used much like the katana.

Is a medium Katana better like 30 inches or a long Katana 40 inch?

well, for combat, a shorter katana allows for greater mobility. the only reason it'd be long is for the reach or extra weight, but if you want those just get a Naginata(i personally like these). but as for design, i think it'd have a nice look to it, though make sure to get a full tang katana no matter what as for decorative katana's i found this interesting also, though i think it's just the blade, if i could i would get a diff. sheath, and hand guard
