Some shapes should be practiced with several different fingerings, which you might use depending on the preceding and/or following chords, to minimize moving your fingers around a lot. Some of the options for the barre C
A 7 E
D 5 G
G 5 C
1-1-3 (i-i-r) or 1-1-2 (i-i-m);
2-2-3 (m-m-r,)
2-2-4(m-m-p),
3-3-4 (r-r-p).
If you intend to do much with walking the chords or chord melody you'll want to make your movements as efficient as possible, and that means use of interchangeable/multiple fingerings, depending on context.
