How To Widen Cub/bantam Rear Hub - What Width Is Best?

I recently got hold of two Cub/Bantam hubs to widen, and then flog the spare online to recover some of my outlay. I followed the info on the excellent BSA otter site and I'm very pleased with the results.

 

However, I hadn't noticed before, but the two hubs are different lengths - after adding 38mm/1.5" to them both, I now have one 6 inches long, and one 6 3/8 long.

 

I plan on fitting one to my royal enfield crusader which has plenty of room in the swing arm, to lose the weight of the standard brake drum and combined sprocket, and also because cub sprockets are plentiful and have a greater off the shelf choice, plus easier to change.

 

So my question is which one would be best to sell - long or short?
