I was looking at the XDs and Shield 9mm, I ended up with the Shield

The shield is nice if you have small to normal sized hands. If you have large hands you might find the grip to be a little small the the gun will be loose in your hand. A Hogue grip will fix this. I felt the XDs had a better grip. The XDs also felt like it heavier. My impression was that the materials and build quality was about the same. The real determining factor at that point was the price. the Shield was less than $385, and the XDs was I think $600-550.

My shield is a pleasure to shoot, its very comfortable with the grips on it and the extended mag.
