       It depends where one is coming from, after about 20 years in O
scale the older era S stuff looks small but the modern stuff looks
just right!  
     Yes. 50 inch would probably be fine, I'm planning to use 46 inch
for my next layout. It's entirely possible to model modern era without
89 foot cars. The longest things I see here on the branchline are
bulkhead lumber cars and 60 foot boxcars but most of the traffic is
shorter hoppers and cement cars.
