None, you should use the system API to deal with directory and file
names.
Shell is crap for many things but good enough in many environments. But
if we talk about working solutions in general you should avoid the
shell.
The idiom "find -print0 | xargs -0" is a good example for the problems
with the shell. Shell hacker use it to circumvent the handling of file
names by the shell.
