To build hypertrophy, you want something that fatigues the muscles in the 8-10ish rep range, so in time terms that would put you in the 40-60 second range roughly. That said most trainee can easily hit 75-90 seconds on static stuff, but in terms of static vs. dynamic think about the ratio of isometric work you would do to build your chest vs. dynamic movement. Which is my round about way of saying that I firmly believe in alot of static work for health and performance, but to build the size that you are talking about doing 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps would help.
