My favourite G shape is the lazy 2-finger one:
-3- pinky
-0-
-0-
-0-
-x- mute with ring
-3- ring
Leaves index and middle free to mess around on those open strings, adding a passing C chord or various hammer-ons, etc. Or even add the B on 5th if I want it (I sometimes do).
There are a few songs where I'd use the 320033 shape (maybe still muting 5th string) because it sounds better - in those songs - or makes the changes easier. I call it "rock G", btw, never considered it as a bluegrass chord. (But then I'm no bluegrass expert.)
