I feel like for most teams in most situations the minor time lag associated with shifting shouldn't affect them significantly.
I prefer having the encoders on the gearbox, as they're more protected that way. We occasionally (around once per year) lose encoders due to insufficient protection/some small mistake that destroys the already-vulnerable encoders.
