If anyone can recommend a good third option I am open to suggestion. Also while I am doing my short shift should I replace my shift bushing with a ES one?

theres a very good artcle about this here
explains the actual functionality (or lack there of) of shifters

point taken ... but generally people get the short shifter because they think that they are not shifting fast enough
the shifter in and of itself will not harm the synchros .... it just makes it easier for it to happen, due to people slamming through the gears way too quickly (this is where the damage to the synchros happens) they often put entirely too much force on the shifter as well (this is where people snap the shifter)
people who still shift correctly will not have any problems
im running a shifter on the sol and i love it
i have the skunk2 shifter .... it actually retained the same throw as the stock shifter but it raised the knob about 2.5" making it closer to the wheel ... i love it
so ill adjust my arguement to state that improper shifting practices harm transmissions not the shifter itself.... but i still retain that the shifter makes it easier to fuck up the tranny... and the further the shift knob is from the wheel the less functional it is

I think that some designs of shifters (eg. ebay shifters), will actually force the shift rod further into gear than it has to be, therefore jamming it into gear on what would seem like a normal soft shift.

Um, no, it is 110% driver malfunction, period. Once it is in gear, it is in gear, there is no need to push it any further, the shifter isn't making the driver push it any further, so it is the drivers fault. Doesn't matter if you throw is and or a mile (haha) in gear is in gear. All a short shifter does is change the folcrum point on a stick.
