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
Shell side for smaller total pressure drop
Tubes to avoid the expansion of high pressure shell construction
Shell side for large overall heat transfer co-efficient
