Just to add some fat to the fire, you can also shape via pumping with contact flats.

My opinion is that it is just what you get used to. Either approach will produce the desired results in the hands of a competent shaper. Dan Pate has trouble with contact flat anvils when he is at my shop. I have trouble with true radius anvils.

I admire people who can switch back and forth. I can't easily do that. I can do it but I have to THINK and pay a lot more attention to my tracking pattern.
