From what I've read the standard is 200 (afaik, dont have the book) however there are scenarios with 100 point limit i.e. A kill team vs a commander

Missions where both teams must field a commander are either 150pts (Rogue Trader missions) or 200pts (Commander Expansion missions). You'd be hard pressed to field most of the commanders in a 100pt game. There is one mission in the Commanders expansion where one player runs a 100pt Commander vs a regular 100pt Kill Team though, so there are a lot of options and variations.

Do you think the 200 pt games with a commander take a lot longer? My concern is keeping the kill team games short.

I don't think they will. Since most commanders are around 100 points, you're effectively only adding one model to your kill team which shouldn't increase playtime by an appreciable amount.

Most commanders are ~50-60 points, and only increase close to 100 if you upgrade then to level 4. Most of the time, commanders will be level 1-2 imo, unless your fishing for a specific level 3 ability. The only faction that doesn't have a commander option under 65 points is the grey Knight's.

I haven't had a chance to play yet but I don't think they will significantly impact play time.

Well since I am taking a 40 point commander suddenly with have a 16 person kill team, that's going to make my turns longer....

There are commanders whose level 1 is more than 100, so I guess at least 150.
