Double spaced or 1.5 - which is best for a short story?

Always check the guidelines of wherever you're submitting to - competition, publisher, magazine - and stick to them.

I'll add one more bit to Anthony's post. If you're submitting the short story to a competition or publication, you might want to check their guidelines. Some of them specify what they want to see.

Double.

Editors/proof readers etc will want to use this space for writing notes/corrections.
