I have seen both on turbos.

What are the pros and cons on them ?

Should I run either of them ?

You should run an aluminum turbo shield and buy luck I have one for sale!! Lol but seriously both are used not sure if one is better than the other. I’ve wondered the same and if the blankets will eventually become brittle

I had to run a blanket. My turbo won't fit with a stock style shield.
 
I guess my thinking is at the end of the day a blankets purpose is to keep heat inside the turbo so it can flow down the downpipe , a shield keeps the heat close
 
Get the turbine housing ceramic coated, for starters.

Then if you want, add a blanket on it for extra thermal insulation.
