Jeff, as with many similar plants/shrubs, red twig will be thinner (less leaves) and have fewer flowers and berries in more shade. Fall leaf color and twig color will be lessened in more shade.
Moisture requirements may be easier to meet in more shade. as soil will dry out less. I am liking 'Arctic Fire' and a variegated leaf.

I like them for a farther away view/focal point rather than a close up planting as I do not find them all that 'interesting' close up.

lots of twig colors to choose from 1 and 2 third pic is variegated leaf with hydrangea combo i like.
