If you must get the 4/3 system, a longer focal length will give a shallower depth of field at any given aperture than would a shorter focal length. However, there are other problems that telephotos exhibit that you may not like, notably foreshortening and the requirement to use a tripod on many shots.

There are many resources on the net and many books that have tutorials or give lessons on lenses. CNET has a very good article on the micro 4/3 and how the camera with that sensor will behave compared to those with different sensors. A little research should answer all your questions.

If you have a "portrait" mode on your compact digital that will likely give you the most depth of field of the normal shooting modes.
