I have both a Strat and a tube amp (Fender Bandmaster Reverb, coverted to a 1x15 VibroClone) and, whilst you're right in principle, I would disagree that the sound of a short cord would be "much better". Sure it makes a difference but if you have a good quality cable it's not all that significant. > For anything over 10 feet, I use a DI rather than running high Z. > I use a 10m (30ft) cable; I need the length on stage.
