High pressure fluid in a shell and tube heat exchanger should preferably be routed through the

Shell side, if the flow is counter-current and tube side if the flow is co-current
Tubes to avoid the expansion of high pressure shell construction
Shell side for large overall heat transfer co-efficient
Shell side for smaller total pressure drop

Ponchon Savarit method is based on the use of enthalpy concentration diagram, which contains the bubble point curve (saturated liquid curve), dew point curve (saturated vapour curve) and equilibrium tie lines. As compared to McCabe-Thiele's method, this method

Is more accurate in finding the number of equilibrium stages
Facilitates direct calculation of heat load on reboiler & condenser from, the diagram used in this method
All of these
Accounts for the enthalpy changes in the process
