Being a step away from dwarf status myself I can say that my body type dictates my swing and I prefer a steeper turn

Might be due to the length of the clubs. Standard clubs on a shorter player may be longer for them and create less waist bend...thus tougher to get a steeper shoulder turn. Taller plays the standard clubs will play shorter, create more waist bend and make the steeper shoulder turn easier.

how steep of a shoulder turn is consider steep?
If you line up your right shoulder with your knee on the backswing (never slice again) it's not really that steep.

A small man goes in to see a doctor. He says to the doctor "Do you treat dwarfs?"
The doctor says "Yes, but you will have to be a little patient".

On the length of club thing, I have had this conversation with Frank Thomas and he agree's with me that clubs aren't to long unless you can't control them. If I cut a half inch off every club then I will just have to use one more club to hit the same distances.
I think some people have longer torsos and get less waist bend and others have longer arms and legs and get more waiste bend and that dictates how steep the swing will be. Everybody is built a little different. i know a guy who is 6'2" and is really lanky, he swings clubs that are 2 degrees flat and has a pretty flat swing plane.
Just my 2 cents from down here closer to the earth

I've wondered similar myself jen.
Hogan, Woosnam, Fujikawa, Sluman, Pavin?, Watson?, Player, uh...(who the heck else is short?)
And then the talls.
Might be interesting to look at video.
I think Fujikawa and Sluman turn steeper.

I don't think there's a definitive answer on that. I look to see where the shoulder plane is pointing at. If it's pointing close to the ball, that's pretty steep. It should be about 1-2 feet outside of the ball. I spoke to an instructor who said I'm the only golfer he's ever seen with too steep of a shoulder turn on the backswing. So too steep IMO, is pretty rare. Usually it's just too flat for what the golfer can play with.
