I think uniform 8-day and 10-day d1 7-day d2+ are both good.
An important thing to keep in mind here is that site culture has shifted toward shorter deadlines over the years; keep in mind that 3 weeks used to be normal. While it is good for newbie games to reflect the rest of the site, deadlines between 1-2 weeks are becoming more common, and if the tradeoff is in favor of newbie retention then it's almost always a tradeoff that is worth it. A 7 or 8 day deadline could be good for people who are used to 2-3 day deadlines to transition into what we consider more typical deadlines.
