The shuttles have drivers that I've heard do a great job of narration (like the more expensive option) plus they also stop when wildlife is spotted. The shuttle is definitely the better choice. (Take plenty of snacks and drinks.)
One of our own FTers, Seat 2A, is a transit shuttle bus driver and a very good one I must say. He has been doing it for over 25 years. Most give great commentary though on the shuttle buses that is technically not required.
