shrugs are indeed best for trap development...I like to do a smooth rep and pause at the top for a second or two...I use very heavy reps and do 1-3 reps...but you can do higher reps of 6-8 to gain some mass...also remember not to roll your shoulders as you do the shrug as that might cause injury...
also next time try to post these questions in bodybuilding forum...since your questions are more related to bodybuilding...
good luck

For neck strength I would use a neckchain like the boxers do,from the back and the front,try doing your shrugs with the bar behind your butt,this hits a different part of the traps ,as far as the best trap builder everybody has a favorite,on some days go fast and other days go fast vice a versa.
