Private transfer is so much more convenient and quicker.  Door to door.  After a flight all you want is a hassle free trip to your acommodation.  Spend a little more and enjoy it.  You're on holiday after all.

In actual fact, there are very few flights as late as that ... today, Ryanair from London is the only one around 10.00 ... and a TAP flight at 11.20 ... you should find that shared shuttles ... early and late ... are much faster than normal ... that is certainly my experience having only ever once used a private transfer, from six transfers a year.  You could be spending 20 euro extra to gain 15 mins ..

Cheers for all the info folks, first time in Portugal so all new to me. We are only there for 5 days so I think private transfer would probably be better if we want to get there as quick as possible

I have used both shared and private transfers, had good and bad experiences on shared transfer option. If I was arriving as late as you are I would opt for a private, I can recommend Yellowfish, very reliable service.

Friends of ours use a shared shuttle, well they did until the time it took them longer to get from Faro to Albufeira than it did from Glasgow to Faro...   It really depends on how busy they are and how long you have to wait for other people to arrive on other flights. If there are two of you, you might as well pay the extra tenner or so.

If you are not in a hurry, a shared shuttle is only 10 euros pp ... averages 1 hour 15 min.
You can book that with Travel Republic, Alpharooms, etc,

Might be a bit more than €60 for a transfer after 10PM.

Pre booked private transfer is the best choice. Many companies to choose from and you should get a return trip for 60euro. At that time of night you should be looking at a maximum 30 minute journey.
