It depends on your robot and strategies.

For us, we plan on doing both. We will have a shooter that can shoot far, but our main offensive strategy is to be a fast collector and dump our balls into the middle hoop really fast, and then get more balls. Just slam up against the fender, fire away, and then get away really quickly to gather more balls.

In a test run of this, we successfully out-maneuvered the defending robot and were able to rack up points pretty quickly.

We shoot far if we're feeding from the other side of the field, or in autonomous.
