Apparently you're meant to have the following:
Tripple up front - long cage
Double up front - medium cage
Single up front - short cage
However on my FS with a tripple up front and 11/34t cassette I run a med cage and have done so for 18 months with no issues

There´s a sticky about this on the mtbr forum. I read it just yesterday. Basically shorter cage gives quicker/crisper shifts, but it all depends on chain length, range of gears and the position of the moon if you can get away with a shorter one.
