May 23, 2014 at 13:07 comment added Brent Friar @moomoochoo that makes more sense as Joomla long URLs will work no problem with built in Joomla SEF enabled. I don't use 3rd party SEF components so I can't be of much help with this issue. I would recommend using Joomla SEF.

May 20, 2014 at 4:06 comment added TryHarder @BrentFriar Perhaps I've misunderstood your comment somehow or you're referring to a different SEF component. Could you elaborate on which exact point you think is not an issue? When turning on sh404SEF for the first time, a common complaint is that the old URLs don't work anymore. I've experienced this myself several times, the extension caused old URLS to 404 on me. Perhaps the problem could be attributed to misconfiguration? All I can say for sure is that if it happens to a site that is already established it can only be a bad thing.

Should have used sh404SEF instead of SEF
May 18, 2014 at 1:55 comment added Brent Friar This would only be an issue with turning off SEF url. Joomla can process a long url no problem even after you turn on sef URLs. Technically, you would not need to redirect anything as the links would still work. It would be smart to redirect anything that is already indexed, but not required.
May 17, 2014 at 8:24 comment added MattAllegro Indexing and redirecting must indeed be considered, even if this an extra-joomla consideration. One should count costs and gain after that.
