Shock Lands or regular Dual Lands best for my deck?

Hey Folks!,
After adding a bit of black to my deck: A Hard Pil(i-Pala) to Swallow, I can't decide which is best to add - Watery Grave / Drowned Catacomb . Although shock lands seem to be considered better, I'm leaning more towards the catacomb, as in my decks case the black cards are later game by which time I will/should have an island down.
Any opinions welcome though!

if you dont need the black mana early game, then you really dont need Watery Grave, seeing that Drowned Catacomb comes into play untapped if you control a swamp or island, its more flexable in a midrange/late game deck. I feel that the shock lands are amazing, they give you the land you need when you need it. So I say run a few in the deck, but if it's late game, i'd just stick to the dual lands

Magic = Moar Monies!!!! Play all the lands! Misty Rainforest and Verdant Catacombs /Marsh Flats for all the wins. Play legacy, get Onslaught lands. Woo!

You have to try your best to do both. You can only have 4 of each, but the more of each you can get the better off you will be. A play set of both would be ideal. But expensive.

Why not both?
