I'd imagine it'd be whatever you were more comfortable with or whatever.
I use R+A, though, sometimes I also use Z. It's just a matter of style, IMO.

Z seems easier for me. R+A made my shield come out whenever i started playing. I just got used to Z. But I always hate it when an expanded shield comes out instead of grab. =/

Yeah, I use Z too, and I also hate it when the light shield comes out. I use L+A when I'm shieldgrabbing. Have you you ever wondered why the light shield that comes out when you press Z feels just as strong as a normal heavy shield when you press L? What does IMO stand for? Just curious. I can't figure that one out.

i used to use z but the light shield came out too much so i switched recently. i also find it helpful using L/R+A to get in the habit for shield-grabbing.

I use L+A to do all my grabbing, it's much more reliable then pushing Z and getting shielded instead.

r+a is faster sometimes, Z seems to stall sometimes if u dont press it right

R or L + A is for shield grabbing. Z should be used when standing. Y+Z (running) for dash grab and jab grab.

It's kinda random. If you press and hold z, however, then the grab comes out first, then the light shield pops out later.

I use both I shield grab if the opportunity presents itself and I Z grab to reverse hookshot. I don't feel it pays to jump grab with Link
