Tibhar MX-P(and the newer Evo rubbers except MX-S). If you want something with more control - Yasaka Rakza 7 for example. The Omega 5 series of Xiom are not bad too if you're not a heavy hitter.

Why not MX-S? Less power than MX-P but more spinny and more control. Still a decent FH rubber.

MX-S is a great FH rubber (my favorite), but for a player who's playing FH with short stroke I think rubbers with more catapult would fit better. With such type of stroke he won't be able to use MX-S to it's full potential I think. MX-S is a superb rubber which shines when using more of a chinese type of loop - that's from my experience, but I may be wrong here :)

What are the good rubbers for the FH of a looping/attacking player who play with short strokes in your opinion?

hm... there are tons. I think I can type 20+ models of rubbers here.
Since you used Gewo now, what do you think of that? I assume that is your FH rubber, while BH is the antispin

I like how companies like Butterfly and Yasaka show diagrams of the arc and trajectories of their popular rubbers. I think that sort of thing is extremely helpful to prospective customers.

Totally agree.
It would be great if more companies would have these graphics on their packages.

Yes, now that you made it more clear i agree with you. Stroke type is important to decide which rubber fits better.

If you brush a lot the gewo hype xt 50 is good. It is spinny and medium fast. Other rubbers would be tibhar el-s

Hungarian reviews say that the XT 50.0 is slightly faster than MX-P. After reading other reviews I think it behaves a little bit like a chinese rubber regarding linearity. It has a great end-speed but also on softer shots it's much slower. However it isn't tacky and so it's harder to control high power shots. It needs good timing, a little more effort and more horizontal arm movement on loops due to the very low arc.
