Would have

¿Cómo se dice..?

"I would have liked it a bit shorter."
"Lo hubiera gustado un poco mas corto."

"I would have prefered it a bit shorter."
"Lo hubiera preferido un poco mas corto."

(hubiera o habría?)

I think the most proper conjugation would be "habría", but "hubiera" and "habría" are perfect synonyms in daily speech. :)

I almost agree with Julvenzor. Your sentences are fine except for the pronoun in "lo hubiera gustado". Remember that verbs like "gustar" use indirect object pronouns, not DO ones like "lo". :)
