Bob Hubbard has a great deal of information and quite possibly the most consistent shapes out there.
His comparison charts are here.
what I like about this chart is that he takes the 5.1 mm point as "zero", since this is the width that closes at the end of the staple. This makes far more sense than measuring width at the wide end of the shape (which depends on how accurately you remove the ears and will be clipped off anyway).
I use a short-scrape, I recently made several successful reeds using a RDG 1 shaper which is a good compromise, I have found. YMWV. I have a P. Angelo shaper on permanent loan from a friend that is marginally superior, but I have not found its like elsewhere.
I like the Brannen X as a good all-rounder shape as well.
