Short answer: it's personal preference. I like a short(er-than-stock) shift.
You have many options. Whatever you decide, please consider installing the MGW stainless bushings for the shifter support rod. These bushings replace the rubber bushings that allow the support rod to move around (a lot) and make accurate shifts difficult. The s/s bushings are only $25 (per pair) and they are not difficult to install. Run some searches and find out what short throw shifters are popular and you will be rewarded with lots of good info.
HTH,
