Another thing worth mentioning is that in order to do topological analysis
in ESRIs world, you would need to use geodatabases since shapefiles does
not

Daniel,
More complete topographic information. I recall learning a long time ago
that shapefiles are not as topographically complete as other formats such as
the older (and excellent) .e00
What do you mean by better? Correct data? Easier to import?
If they contain the same data I think it does not matter which one you use.
Specially because you are talking about point data. But, if there is a
difference in the data, then you have another problem. Figuring out which
one is correct
I have two files of point locations: sites.gdb and sites.shp. I also have a
file with (I assume) the same data. Am I correct is assuming that the .gdb
file would be topographically preferred over the .shp file and the better
one to import?
