You said that you like your kilt to come to the top of your knee or just above, but is there a general rule about how long it should be? I have very long legs, so I'm not sure which, just above the knee, at the knee, or just below the knee would look best.
A note on yardage - girth is also a factor. For example, I measure 32" at the kilt waist, which is just above the navel. I've got a 6 yard kilt and it has plenty of deep pleats. My 8 yard kilt has a ridiculous number of deep pleats. If cost is a factor and you are slim, a 5 yard kilt may come out looking great.

For length, and I'm sure many have answered this one, I'd go for touching the top of the knee cap. You can always wear the kilt an inch higher or lower on your waist to suit what you think looks best for length.
