For ALL CONJUGATIONS, is the vowel before the -b?- for imperfect verbs long or short?

It is ALWAYS long.
-?b?- (1st conjugation)

-i?b?- (3rd-i? and 4th conjugation)

Why is it helpful to know that the vowel is always long before -b?- for imperfect verbs long or short for ALL CONJUGATIONS?

Because for the 3rd (and 3rd-i?) and 4th Conjugations, it means you can just drop the -b?- and you have the future form of the verb because -?- (or -i?-) is the tense sign for the future tense for 3rd and 4th conjugation verbs.
