Well xtinch, in my own oppinion , Five years is too long a time to be irrevocably bound to a company if the company does not have to file your h1 visa. But then again, it depends on your kind of personality because this type of decision comes with a lot of disadvantages. You may want to seriously consider such disadvantages before signing any contract. I have a couple of friends who understandably went into such long time contracts due to work visa disability but it was a struggle throughout the five years. Being very free minded individuals, they were stripped of their decision powers and they had to stomach what they do not believe in because they are bound by the terms of their contracts. My friend had worked for this chain for over three years in a remote city and had rose to the the level of pharmacy manager. The very moment they found a US trained pharmacist who was willing to work in that store, they made him the pharmacy manager and sent her to another remote city to build up the pharmacy. This was so demoralising for her but she had to stay on until she gets are green card. You may also want to negociate with the company that a two year contract is most comfortable with you.
