Short stroking will typically result in reduced felt blowback, increased cycling speed, and a disabled slide lock. If you're able to live with all these effects, and your trigger finger can even pull the trigger fast enough to make such a mod worthwhile, then by all means, go for it.
I prefer a buffer that will provide an active bounce to the slide, which will further speed up the cycling speed. Some brands do this with a spring (like Tokyo Marui.) Some brands do it with a urethane rubber (like Airsoft Surgeon.)
Try a bunch out, and see which works best for you.
