Anything NOT the shootout is more exciting. Keep going till you have a winner. Why go to a shootout just to save time?

*EDIT: As a contrast to the shootout in hockey and soccer, the CFL uses a shootout system where all of the team participates, and baseball keeps going until someone scores normally. In general, I find it better when the whole team goes and plays in the extra time.
