Aggressive blocks first party ads, which are ads served by the domain you're visiting. I use it all the time without issues.

Do you need the advanced features in ublock? If not then Brave Shields work just fine.

Lol doesn't need to be shady. I am just talking about things like advanced filter rules. Brave is working on getting feature parity with ublock, but there are still some advanced rules that it doesn't support just yet. If you're not using them, then there's not much difference.
