i was just wondering what people use more often and which is better. I know shotgun mics are more for picking up voices and stereo are for picking up sounds from all around. Let me know what you guys think.

I use a shotgun mic, you don't want all the sounds around you. Even a shotgun mic picks up the sound of the filmer skiing, etc. but its 100x better than a stereo mic.
