Depends upon what the employer is asking for as far as experience. If it asks for 2 years of experience, 2 - 5 years of relevant experience should be fine. Showing 20 years may make you appear to be over-qualified.
Focus your resume on the listed requirements for the position that you are applying for. Yes, that often means a new and slightly different resume for each position that you apply for.

typically 5 years. however, if you're applying for a specific position and ya need to go further back than 5 years to include the experience you believe they may be looking for, you may want to substitute the heading "Relevant Work Experience" in place of "Work History." This will allow you to list only the "important" and related work experience so that the person reviewing the resumes knows that you've go it:)
