Another vote for taking bottled water. I've been to Moab twice in the last couple of weeks (it's mountain bike time already!) and was reminded again of how the water tastes. I think they have big tanks they store it in as it has that kind of taste. Now we're used to that so it doesn't bother us too much, but for those used to a "fresher" taste, bottled water is the ticket. Don't just get the 20 oz. size, but get some one or five gallon jugs to make coffee, cook, etc.
How long to stay partly depends on what activities you plan to do. If it's just sightseeing from your truck or if you'll get out for short hikes, longer hikes, 4x4 trips (of varying difficulties), rafting, etc. The best hiking is in Arches. But even outside the parks, the hikes up Negro Bill Canyon and to Fisher Towers are quite nice. I've probably spent nearly a year of time in the Moab area and still find new trails I have yet to do!
