Id say to use the human stats.

Why?

1. The shapeshifters ability is a boost (or limit) to the stat when in
animal form - not an actual stat itself.

2. It also stays in line with the gernal feel of the SR karma system.

3. Its a good idea basing things off the stats on the sheet. Imagine
allowing a mage with a quickened boost to willpower (which is bought with
karma just like shapechanging is) buying sorcery up high at the cheap rate?
It just smacks of a bit of a rort.

4. Do the same even if th animal form gives a minus to a stat. Gotta be fair
after all :)

nb: Just my suggestions 8-)
