Being 5'6 in height I have short legs, so decks with a shorter wheelbase feel way more maneuverable to me - something about the leverage. Flip tricks and ledge tricks just feel a lot better and take less effort, whereas on a board with a longer wheelbase I'll have to try a bit harder and be more precise. Ever since I became aware of that I've been trying to get decks with a shorter wheelbase, but occasionally I'll get it wrong and be stuck on a longer one or two and that's usually when my skating style will change drastically, from flip tricks and tech to going faster on more basic tricks (seeing as the tech shit will be more frustrating, I kind of put it on hold and stop bothering with it for a bit). Anything in the 31 range will feel like a toy I can control, anything above 32 will feel like a tank that drives me somewhere. I actually like the feeling of both but depending on how tall one is and how they want to skate, one choice or the other will probably feel more versatile.
