Default eBay Miata short throw shifter

The shifter bushings in my N/A S4 are shot. I am considering getting an eBay Miata short throw shifter rather than just replacing the bushings. However, in this thread (http://www.rotarycarclub.com/showthread.php?t=4631), some of you guys say a short throw will wear out the transmission more quickly. I assume the transmission has 98K miles on it, given the shifter sloppiness (the car has a rebuilt 13B with 10K miles on it). The S4 will be a summer car and autocross car. So, do these really wear out the transmission more quickly, or is it only with more vigorous driving? And what should I look for, should I decide to get a short throw on eBay?
