Will there be any difference seen by Wireshark between shared and bridged networking?

Shared will see all host interfaces' traffic on the virtual eth0; bridged only sees activity from the bridged interface, and host-only will only see traffic over the virtual tunnel gateway (vnic0 on the host side here, with Parallels)

For spying on the network is shared better than bridged mode?

Depends on where you want to spy. If I have multiple interfaces and want to see traffic only on one of them inside the VM, I would have to use bridged instead of shared.
