Well, I prefer /etc/passwd, given it gives a false feeling of security
using the shadow-file.
In reality, it's a solution for a very unimportant issue.
If your password is strong, having the hashes won't help any attacker.
On the other hand, having a weak password, the shadow-file doesn't save
you from a breach.
