With me, I use heavy weight within the rep ranges of 8-10 for size. And usually 4 sets of shrugs/reverse shrugs will do it. Some people may be tempted to do more than 4 sets. But if you work every set hard, 4 sets will be more than enough.

I'm a fan of light weight high reps, I find that works best for traps though I may be wrong. End of the day they both work just whichever you feel comfortable with.

It all depends on what your goals are, and what you are training for. Usually, lighter weight with high reps will improve your endurance and stamina.
