Or are position and action all that matters?
I need a foam roller to iron out some hip and knee niggles from running and there are so many factors to take into consideration!

I think length and girth are a matter of personal preference, but you're not going to get much done without firmness.0 -
Best thread ever.0

Clicked in when I saw the title! LOL!
But in response to your question we got the Rumbleroller in original (blue) density. It's a bit painful and may not be the best for a "foam roller virgin." Longer is better to get both legs at the same time. Shorter if you're only working one leg at a time.
Here's a good one:

Believe it or not I am actually looking for serious injury prevention advice but couldn't resist a naughty innuendo.
If you see something rude, it's YOUR mind that's dirty, right?0 -

Length and girth don't matter if there is no firmness.

Firmness.
It doesn't matter how long or thick it is if it can't get the job done.0 -
Oh... and to answer your question, in order of importance:-
1) Firmness
2) Girth
3) Length
