Myself, I'd rather roll than take a breakfall. Less damage to ones body. Also, since I'm a beginner (5th kyu) myself, I don't like to throw people any harder than I'm willing to take it myself.
Of course...anyone's answer to the question depends on how shihonage is executed. There are ways that require breakfalls and ways that allows rolls. Neither is wrong. (And, yes, I'm talking about properly executed shihonage). As nage, I'm sensitive to my uke and usually allowing them to go down nice and easy. They don't breakfall and, yes, I'm doing it right. If you disagree, take it up with my sensei.
