Ok, here's the distiction...

Shape:
	pros: compatible with older Flash player (ver.5), faster encoding
	cons: larger filesize, sometime getting slow to playback.

Video:
	pros: smaller filesize, stable playback speed.
	cons: only supported Flash ver.7 or newer, slower encoding.
	      (not suitable for on-the-fly encoding)

But recently most Flash players are ver.7 or newer, 
so I recommend to record as Shape first, then convert to Video.
