Can you connect your ground wires from your car stereo system to the negative connection on your car battery rather than grounding them out in the cars frame? What are some (good or bad) side affects?

Yes, you could, but that seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to.
Look at where the cable from the negative terminal goes. It goes directly to the car's frame.
If you use the car's stereo wiring, I almost guarantee the ground wire gets to the frame fairly quickly. The disadvantage of running your ground wire all the way to the battery instead of the car's frame is that it makes installation more difficult, plus adds more connections to the negative terminal.

The battery negative goes to ground also, but should have no effect except more of a pain to wire.

Your whole cars chassis is ground. There is no need to run wires to the battery. More money, more time. More pain. Just make sure you have a clean tight ground.

Generally speaking, the shorter the ground-wire the less chance of getting any sort of interference in the system.

No because any over charges will be in the body of the carand also you will take some to be fresh(shock)
