It depends, I'd say.  If you just want to do a quick shell command, you
probably want to execute it locally.  But if you run the shell command on
the file associated with the buffer it is surely natural to run it on the
same host where the file resides.  IMHO in most cases you want to run it
locally, and running remotely should be a special case.
