It depends on your model, perspective, and modeling goal. Principal stress is an overall combined stress quantity that gives you general information about the deformed body(es), while the normal and shear stresses show you the stress magnitude in specific directions.

This is not a FEM question. What stress would you use if you were doing the analysis by hand?
This is a strength of materials issue; you need to first understand the material behavior, then understand what type of analysis you are doing.
Does anyone take a strength of materials class these days??
