For the Shodo with shoulder pads, it depends on the design and what you want to do with them. They're made of soft PVC and push out of the way as needed. The more open the shoulder pad, the better. The early shoulder pads are pretty limiting, but the designs have improved greatly over the years. In recent years, the collar that the pads are attached to are not glued down as much making it easier to get out of the way and reset. As long as you're not wanting to put their arms above their head, you can get a good range out of most of them without problem. Leaving them in a pose that bends the pads for a long time may cause them to never fully reset, but most poses don't need to bend them enough that it's that noticeable.
