If for life (which almost never, ever happens anyway), then deeper is better. Mine was only 2'-2.5' deep but it hasn't run for that long at all, only a few years. Arowana are surface fish, so they care a bit less about the depth. In general, depth is by far and large the least important dimension versus the footprint.

I wanna add a Asian arowana and a tsnat some point just wanna make sure everyone stays alive and doesn't get eaten I lost a tsn all ready to my rtc and I know how pricey Asian aros get
 
Vik has been in the trenches longer than I have, but I had a pond similar.

Mine was roughly 10' x 4' x 4' if I remember correctly. Made it out of cinder blocks and lined the inside.I had a bigger rtc in there at one point along with some wolves and a silver aro. I had to keep the top covered or the aro would go flying.

Filtration was the biggest pia. I eventually switched to the ultima types over diy barrel koi type. I ran a small dehumidifier and had an exhaust fan ran outside.

I'll be honest I think the rtc needed more room than the 4' width.
