I use both and in my experience Gamestream is much more stable than Steam Link.
With Steam Link I keep having to change the capture method for Steam and the screen mode for the game (borderless/full screen) for different games, or the screen will be the wrong format, or show some black bars. Never had this issue with Gamestream, so that's what I always use.
After they take away this and since Plex in Server mode is mostly unusable, I don't see the point of using the Shield. Any other android box will do the simple tasks Shield still does.
(Clarifying the issue with Plex server: The Shield is great for low power and very efficient transcoding, but connection to SMB storage is broken for years. It's silly that NVIDIA doesn't fix anything, and the NVIDIA Shield official forums are absolutely full of excuses from NVIDIA devs. Meaning Plex Server is unusable unless you are connecting the Shield directly to an external USB drive).
