A few guidelines for showreels:
Short: Take your first edit, cut it shorter, then cut it shorter again. Aim for 2 mins.
Sweet: Only include the best of your best.
Sharp: Keep it snappy and intersting to watch.
Suprising: Well you want to be remembered dont you?
Salient: Is it suitable for the viewer? No point sending something techno wobbly to the history channel.
I hasten to point out my s reel is by no means perfect - I just like it the way it is.
