Strategy wise, perhaps they are the same. Shooters can score at close range, but dumpers can outperform them in terms of ball volume and rate of fire, since a "shooter" is generally constrained by firing 1 ball at a time.
By that measure, I'm not sure why people would pick a shooter over a dumper. All data points to dumpers currently being the best choice.
