I don't really have a great answer for that. Droop travel is a good thing...my guess is they designed the shorter extension so that with shorter than OEM springs they remain captive at all times. But I don't think there are any aftermarket springs (for this car) that are so short that you need to worry about that. So yeah, get the B6 shocks. Same bump travel and valving.
