It depends on your strategy and capabilities as a team. The only real advantage of the short robot is the ability to go under the low bar, but that's also a guaranteed defense, and can easily crossed by a kitbot with a simple intake. If you want to cross defenses and do other things, it could be better to do a tall robot, as long as you can easily cross two defenses of any category, you can always cross. Design your robot around your strategy and objectives, there is no clear answer for which is best.
