Unfortunately, I am not a fan of tapewounds for short scale, even though I have played all the domestic offerings on standard long scale basses. Even the heaviest gauge tapewounds, when you take the nylon tape off, are only about a 40-95 set, which is borderline floppy for short scale. Then you need to cut a new nut.
For big, round tone on a short scale, I recommend THE godsend for short scale players: the GHS Balanced Pure Nickels. They are specifically engineered for short scale bass. They are not simply cut down versions of long scale strings, which everything else is. As the name suggests, they are balanced in tone and tension string-to-string and up the neck. They don't flop or twang or thump, and they have solid intonation and stability. I put a set on last fall to get ready to rehearse with my short scale travel bass to get ready for my band's annual trip to Mexico in February. Through personal practice, steady rehearsals, and the gigs, I still have the same set on the bass. A friend of mine who has played short scale basses for 40 years says they are the best strings he has ever played.
