I'd vote for a threshold level as small as possible.
The highest trigger voltages I know are 12V. To my experience even 
retriggering due to transient overshoots does not happen with such high 
trigger signals (on the usual cricuits) with a threshold down to 1 Volt.
Looking at the 3.3V argument I'd vote for a threshold level of 2V too.
About the minimum length I vote for 5ms, because it makes software based 
debouncing much easier.
