It depends on the current to be measured at hi amperage the shunt must be as small in value as possible also the power requirements must be considerate a shunts that heat up is definitely not desirable since it will change value as a function of its temperature

I am assuming the question is about a current shunt to measure currents. This is a series resistor. It must have a very low resistance so it does not influence the voltage on the device during measurements. But high enough to be able to measure a voltage over it. Typically you use resistors from 0,5 Ohm downwards to a few milliOhm.

What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.

What is called when a child has value shunt caused of water in the brain?
The shunt used for a person who has hydrocephalus ("water on the brain") is not called a "value shunt". It is usually called a "ventriculo-peritoneal shunt" or "VP shunt" for short. Sometimes a "ventriculo-atrial shunt" or "VA shunt" is used instead.
