Stem length is personal preference. It is important to know that a shorter stem will have slightly more responsive steering and bring your riding position back and up. A longer stem will have slightly more controlled steering and will pull your riding position forward and down. If your comfortable with your current set up it is a good idea to match that as closely as possible. If you find your current set up is straining your lower back & arms, then consider trying a shorter stem. If you find your front end lacks control and the tire comes off the ground easily, then consider trying a longer stem.
