3:25 4:30 5:40 6:35 7:00 7:40 8:30
Some of the most recent delays in the last few days have been 6, 7, and 8 hours between PVG-HKG and v.v. This is slightly unusual, although not unheard of.

More usual to have rolling delays of between 1-3 hours depending on the time of day (getting worse from midday onwards).

I would think 2.55pm arrival into PVG is cutting it fine for the 4.30pm flight. I'd take the 5.40pm and anticipate a worst case scenario that you will be on your way (take-off) by 9pm, arriving HKG around 1130pm-midnight.
