Never done them. Shrugs are good, yes, but HSPUs work your traps as well, face pulls and especially upright rows are kind of unnatural movements for me
Shoulders are not a large muscle group. They don't need special attention. Beach / Row superset hits them. Just throw in overhead press and you're good.
I'm partial to trap bar deadlifts as well, since shrugs was mentioned.

I agree with this, when it gets right down to it. In actuality, the only real results I ever got with shoulders specifically were from presses above the head, regardless of the type. They add width that other things can't. Similar to how squats and deads add a certain 'look' to your body. It's hard to really explain.
I don't mind the other isolation exercises, maybe they add some depth or something, but I've never had results with them.
