My mechanic mantains that I need the long leg, but I am not completely sure of this.
Let’s make this scenario: the 150hp engine, when “tilted” keeps the propeller well over the water.
If I install such a Bracket which has an ‘up” position, the 9.9 propeller, once tilted, should be well over the water, higher than the 150 when tilted.
I am not sure that a short leg engine goes well under the water line, which is worst...
Garelick has some good instructions for mounting the bracket, on their website. These may help you to choose between the long leg or standard leg engine. Usually long leg is for sailboats, though.

Also, I don't know if you can order from West Marine, but they are running a discount sale this weekend on the brackets:
