Typically if your plumbing source comes out of the wall and your fixture is above that point you use this right angle adapters. If your plumbing comes out of the floor and your fixture is above you'd use a straight connector shut off.
Also it helps to remove the faucet head/aerator anytime you shut water off and turn it back on otherwise they can potentially get clogged by debris.
Edit: Also to save yourself some aggravation you can typically fix a leaking gate valve by tightening the packing nut as they can work themselves loose. this is the nut behind the handle. Usually just an 1/8 of a turn will stop a slow drip but if it doesn't tighten with light force don't overdue it as you can break the valve if you go crazy

The only rule is that you need to be able to see the fitting to use it. Nothing behind drywall when it comes to push to fit connections.
This is not a deal considering the other brands I listed are available for the same or less at Home Depot. If you want Shark bite, go for it. It's the first push to fit brand in America. Somehow that commands a price premium.
I use compression fittings as well but they can be a pain if you do not have the right tools. I have the right tools and they are still a pain to get to seal correctly.
Make sure you get the shark bite removal tool if you are going to be buying push to fit fittings. Shark bite does not include the little plastic horse shoe with their products. Other brands do include the removal tool.

For no solder valves, I like the kind that use a compression fitting more than these since when tightened, they stay put.

It's kinda nuts to me, looking at HD website, that the ball valve version of a normal shut-off (https://www.homedepot.c
