The one that I ran for fun above was only an 8 team league. That being said, it went from 1946-2245, 300 seasons and I still hadn't run out of players. I think the draft was either 5 or 6 rounds. Oh and I only uses players from 1901 through modern day. I didn't use any pre 1900 players.
Something to keep in mind when playing random debut is, players debut major league ready. So, you don't need a huge number of draft rounds, unless you prefer to have lots of extra players in the minors. I usually use 4 or 5 rounds. Sometimes 6. If you have too many rounds, you will end up with a lot of players never making it to the bigs.
As for number of teams, I'm currently using a 20 team setup. That's actually high for me. I like small leagues. I don't manage or gm and simply watch, so smaller leagues allow me to get to know the teams better.
