The
differences are
1. shutdown abort - is more drastic, no new
users are allowed to log in, disconnects current sessions without rollback,
recovery however would have to be done when restarted.
2.
shutdown immediate - no new users are allowed to log in, terminating current
connections, transactions terminated are rollbacked, recovery would
not happen at restart
3.
shutdown normal - no new users are allowed to log in, transactions in progress
are rollbacked, but would wait for all existing transactions to finish and users
to log off, so if a user is logged in when shutdown normal is executed, it would
wait forever.
So shutdown immediate is much quicker and safer.

-> shutdown immediate
better than
-> shutdown abort / startup restrict / shutdown normal ?(That is assuming of course that no user / job will try to sneak in after you do the startup restrict)
