Which one is recommended/preferred?

The latter. I think it's because it prevents down casting to the

MutableStateFlow

If you check the implementation,

asSharedFlow

and

asStateFlow

actually wrap your flow in a read-only instance. So people cannot down cast back to a mutable one and potentially mess up your state
