Silver Shards or Silver Leash?

I'm really not sure which one of these to Morph to - does shards knock all 3 targets down? does leash work even on boss daedra/undead?

i guess leash costs twice the stamina - for each activation. shards is the clear better choice. this skill really needs competition, probably posted that already.

Shards will hit 3 targets if they are not daedra/undead. It will not knock down the other 2 targets even if they are daedra/undead. Leash only works on daedra/undead. Most dungeon bosses are immune to all forms of cc. Shards is the winner by a landslide for anything other than a tank and even than leash is still not that great.

Its kind of sad to note that shards out dps' all bow abilities even against none daedra/undead.

Shards is three hits. The main target (assuming undead/daedra) is knocked prone, same as usual. The other two take half damage, and are never knocked prone from those hits. Leash might have a use is you are playing strictly melee and have no other way to close a gap (DK Chains, NB Teleport strike, Storm Calling teleport) but as stated above, it is only effective against undead/daedra.
I'd take Shards every time, it is useful against all kinds of foes, and especially in PvP against Vampires (and werewolf, if you take that Fighter's Guild passive)

Silver leash is great to pull undead/daedric bosses across lava pools in order to watch all the bots chase and burn to death. Other than that, go with shards.

I actually use the silver leash on my NB bow bar. You don't have to activate the pull and the window for it is only about 4sec. I see it as kind of a cd, until I'm ready to yoink the mob over and finish it with a killers blade.

When you pop it a second time for the yank, does it consume magicka a second time?

It uses stamina, but yeah it does and the cost is kinda high, which is why I save it till the end. They're actually reducing the cost of the pull in the upcoming patch.
