I am using routed.  Traffic shaping is done through Dom0 on two 
fronts.  One, attach qdisc to vif to throttle the incoming traffic which is 
forwarded to DomU's.  Second, attach another classed qdisc on the outgoing 
eth0 to throttle outgoing traffic.  I mark the outgoing packets with a 
firewall handle, so the qdisc can classify them easily.
For me, the routed approach is simpler (although it did take me a while to 
setup and automate it) and each DomU's can only use the IP(s) assigned to it.
