I had the shoulder bag because even when I carry a backpack it normally winds up on one shoulder. I at least wanted a bag that was designed to be carried that way. Add to it that when you carry the shoulder bag, the pump part's zipper pouch can face inward and 'hide' that it is your pump if that makes any sense. Since I teach HS, this was important to me.
I honestly don't think it matters though... I think it is a personal preference. You get the same pump in the end.
Re: S/O - Medela PISA backpack or shoulder bag?

I got the shoulder bag because it was $30 or so cheaper and the only thing that was different was the style..
but I pump at home so it made no difference to me!
