I have both books. The obvious change between editions is DR/+1 to DR/+3 becoming DR/magic. The Shadow Dragon has a CR 1 point lower for each age category in Draconomicon. I can't see any other differences. [EDIT: 3.5 Errata for MoF actually says increase the CR's of both Dragons by +1, and lists different class skills for each than what normal dragons receive. All of this appears to have been dumped/ignored when doing the Draconomicon.]
I'm of the opinion that the 3.5 version be used, making Draconomicon the primary source, but both books can be sourced for those who have one book but not the other.

Current RPG's: Pathfinder (GM), Pathfinder (Player), Gamma World (GM, Pathfinder homebrew).
HeroLab: 3.5 & Pathfinder. HL User Files for PF: Greyhawk Setting, Gamma World (WIP).

DM and player of D&D since 1980.
