I'd recommend shorties. They have better clearance and there won't be a noticable difference in performance with your intended engine mods. If you use long tube headers with power steering you'll have to buy a drop bracket for the slave cylinder. Long tubes for me have always shortened the life of my starter with the extra heat coming off of them.
