Thinking about a new stem

I ride a Gary Fisher Kaitai and it suits me just fine (until I'm readin for a roadie in year or so).
I've gotten a lot pleasure from this bike but for one thing... I feel that -while everything else feels fine- I have to lean forward or reach for the bars more than I'd like. It's pretty hard for me to keep my elbows bent.
The bike came with a 90mm, 10 degree stem and I'm thinking that replacing that might help.
But do I want to go shorter? Higher? Both? What effective difference is made when switching to a 60mm 10 degree or a 60mm, 25 degree or a 90mm, 10 degree or whatever. Seems like a simple, cheap, effective change? Thoughts?
