HSTuners - Choosing the right shortshifter.

Hello! I am new to this board and i am as well new to the whole car scene. I don't know to much about cars but, i am going to learn as much as possible. The car I have now is a 1999
Honda Civic EX. Its my 2nd car. Now on to my question. I hope this is the right section for this. Well I am in search for a short shifter. The question is what should i be looking for when buying one. I dont think the can really get too expensive so money is no object. Also does it matter how short it is? Is shorter better or is there a suggested height. Also I have been seeing a lot of people buying skunk short shifters. Are they any good and could you please suggest some of the best brands to use. I think that about does it. Thanks Guys and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer my question.
