Why use short-lead caps? Just because this is what you have or it was a conscious buy?
Personally, I prefer axials. They fit just about any replacement for restuffing: backelite blocks, tubular axials and even electrolytic caps in some cases.
I certainly do not use radials with short leads, and, unless price/required parameter ratio dictates otherwise, try not to use radials at all. With notable exception of safety caps, especially Y-rated, as most of those are radials.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
