Frame geometry question

I want to get a more aggressive frame geometry for my FG bike. I currently have a 72/73 w/101 wheelbase. I'm down to two frames, one w/a 74/75.3 w/95.5 wheelbase or a 72/73 w/95.7 wheelbase.

My question is: what plays into the handling more...head/seat tube angles or wheelbase? I understand a shorter wheelbase will be more agile but will I notice a lot of difference if I go w/the steeper tube angles?

I just use this bike to commute to the part time job and ride around town. No racing or anything like that.

My apologies if it's a newbie kind of question.
