Did you ever try both of them? Actually, "quote" formats with space
delimited paragraphs, "quotation" uses indented paragraphs.
So, IMHO you should use whatever suits to the general layout you have in
Format>Document>Paragraph-separation. (This is also why I object to the
naming of quote and quotation in the German translation as "Zitat (kurz)"
and "Zitat (lang)".)
However, as by default, "quotation" indents also the first paragraph, it
is indeed better to use "quote" for 1-paragraph quotes.
Now we have some quantificatin of "short" and "long", as well as the
second dimension "paragraph-separator":
indented paragraphs space-delimited paragraphs
------------ ------------------- --------------------------
1 par quote quote quote

2+ par quote quotation quote
