I personally like Shellder better. I still adore Krabby but Shellder is one of my favourites. It is just adorable and it evolves into the mighty Cloyster.
Cloyster has turned into an epic beast in 5th generation because of Shell Break(I think that's what the move is called) so I would pick Shellder in this situation.
c'mon no contest, Shelder wins by a land slide
because Shleder is friken adorableeeeeeeeeeeee! & his second form Colyster is friken beast with those defense stats
As much as I like Krabby, I went with Shellder because it's cute in a way. Its evolved form, Cloyster, got a major improvement in Gen V in the form of Shell Smash.
This is a tough one. Regardless of their evolutions, based purely on Krabby and Shellder I went for Krabby. I feel like Shellder may be better, I'm not sure, but I prefer Krabby's design between the two so he gets my vote :)
