Range and accuracy doesnt really have anything to with the length of your barrel. The quality of the barrel might have a bit of bearing but your hop up and BB's are going to have the most effect on your range and accuracy.
A properly set up and optimized hop up will put the right amount of evenly applied back spin to your BB which would allow you to reach out to ranges of 200+ feet easily. If you plan on installing a flat hop or an R hop you can increase your effective range even further.
You'll want to use heavier weight BB's as well to get the most accuracy at ranges of 200+ feet as the heavier BB's are less affected outside elements. I would recommend using at least 0.28g BB's for outdoors.
What it really comes down to is what you think looks better and what would suit your play style better. If you prefer a shorter rifle, then go with the shorter variant.

Hope this helps!
