You are designing or working on a library, perhaps for Boost, perhaps for fun, and part of the design of the library has some public functionality taking a shared pointer as input. You: ... 2) Use std::shared_ptr

I would use std::shared_ptr and I'll answer the broader version of your question.

For my libraries, I assume C++11. Its too much work to try to support older compilers. There are so many features and advantages to having C++11 as the minimum language support that it is a very logical choice to require it.

Your assumption, of course is that any C++11 compiler implementation supports std::shared_ptr. Fair enough. Thanks !
