Short, snappy title + Good cover is more than enough. Personally I'm not a fan of those long titles but maybe someone is into it.

What's your opinion about the perfect title?
Should it be a 20 word synopsis synopsis?
Or should it be one word, representing your entire novel?

If you want to compete in a title thread for some reason, IMO you should've at least tried to compete using the title.

I usually stick to 5-8 words at most for a novel. 1-3 at least. Short and snappy is preferred but sometimes you need to describe the story a little bit. No one will know that your story is about rich people fighting if it's just called "decadence" but if it's named "death by decadence" then it's more likely. Use as few words as possible while also giving the potential audience an idea of what the story is about.

Can you help me a little?
I was thinking about my subtitle for my new novel
"My Demon Hunting Job" or "My Supernatural Hunting Job"?
The first one should be more popular and it's shorter.
But the second one is more unique.
With the first one I would have to change a minor element about the story though

Well, is it limited to demons or is it all encompassing to supernatural beings?
