<p>I am not sure exactly what you mean when you say log del Pezzo, but if you have klt singularities then they are quotient singularities in dimension two. For a fixed index there is a finite number of possible groups that can occur and therefore a finite number of minimal resolutions. So there is a bound in terms of the index. You can look in Nikulin, "Del Pezzo surfaces with log-terminal singularies, I" and work out an bound: $$ 1+ \sum\left(\frac{b_i}{2}-1\right) \leq l$$ where $b_i=-E_i^2$ and $E_i$ are the curves in the minimal resolution.</p>
