Default Shorts or Big radius

I have a 2006 Dyna Wide Glide. I have the stage one chip, SE air breather and SE slip ons. Going for the Vance and Hines Big Radius or short shots pipes next. any thoughts?

I have neither. Have heard neither. So going on looks.

They both look cool. If I had a choice the Big Radius edges out the short shots. In fact...I think the Big Shots look better than the Shorts. (also heard the SS are pretty loud, if that's your thing)
