I usually prefer to give a program long time about one position but they are also some cases when I used deep analysis. For example if you know that in the root there are only 2 logical options and the program likes them as best then you should give 2 options in the root. I can also suggest not to use programs that their evaluation is dependent on the root position so Fritz or Junior are probably better to use for deep analysis relative to Shredder because shredder's evaluation is dependent on the root position and the evaluation may be changed not because it can see more but only because the root position is different(Fritz in the past also had this problem when the evaluation could be +1 for white and after trading queens it was changed to +0.5 for white not because of seeing deeper and fortunately today it is never or almost never the case for Fritz).
