I own both so I am very biased. I believe they are the two best defense handguns on the planet so you cannot go wrong. Remember, I did admit to being biased.
The Shield is much more comfortable for me to carry but the Compact is better for home defense. If carry is your primary concern then go with the Shield. If home defense is your primary concern then go with the Compact. Both firearms can fill either role more than adequately so focus on your primary purpose for the firearm.
Of course, the right answer is to make plans to purchase both.
