I'm a fan of "shared_examples_for", because it's beautifully descriptive of what the purpose of its block is: sharing its examples with other example groups. Passing ":shared => true" to a "describe" is less obvious to me, simply because it doesn't stand out. This is especially true when ":shared => true" is at the end of a long string.
