I prefer an 18 year term for Justices, and a one term limit, with the terms staggered so that one expires every two years. Thus each combination of President and Senate would always have one vacancy to fill (unless there is a death/resignation/impeachment).

The one term limit would end the incentive of biasing in favor of younger nominees, since anyone under about 65 would be very likely to live through their entire term.
