I would set up both domain names pointing to the same content and not redirect either. Then you can pull reports to see how people are reaching the site and use that to drive your advertising. The short name is likely to be easier for viral marketing, but the long/descriptive name is better for paid links (where the user isn't expected to type in the domain).
