I recommand Fritz7
I do not believe the claim that Shredder is better at long time control.

I heard also claims that Shredder5 is 100 elo better than Fritz6a.
The ssdf tested it and it turned out that shredder5 is weaker than Fritz6a.

I also heard that shredder6 is 80 elo better than shredder5.32
I suggest that you believe nothing from it.

Even if shredder6 is 80 elo better than Shredder5.32 it is not going to be
enough to be better than Fritz7 because Fritz7 is probably clearly better than
Deep Fritz.

Shredder6 lost recently a match against Fritz7a 8.5-1.5 at 120/40
The hardware was not the fastest but I do not believe that faster hardware is
going to change much.
