Use the oak for the shiitake; our oak logs are usually around that size (we aim for 4"dia). As long as the logs are fresh, not already dead and old, they will work great. 3-4 feet is our average log length. Use other hardwoods for the oyster, but mainly because shiitake do much better on oak.
Just recently we started an experiment with small 2-3"dia x ~2'long logs inoculated and incubated indoors. We are curious as to how a small log like that will take to colonize an fruit.
