For a Shopify App, should we be using 'shop_id' or 'shop_url' to keep track of user accounts?

Solution:

Everyone without fail will use the store name. That combo *.myshopify.com. It is unique to a store, and is handed to every call made to an App. shop=drunkmonkey.myshopify.com for example. No ID. Nothing else is used, just that parameter.
