"What is better,
to do a quick, 10 second scoop downstream and lift the seine mid-stream
or
to run the seine to a barrier?"
What is better to get a full sample of the different kinds of fish? To get the most shiners? To get the faster shiners? When a nice sandbar or bank is present?

In this one case:
20 foot wide stream
3 foot deep in the center
few or no snags
current fast enough to make going upstream extremely hard
nice sloping sand bank on one side of the stream
What type of shiners am I possibly missing
if I run the seine downstream and up the bank
as opposed to
doing a 10 second run / reach downstream and lifting mid-stream?

They can be a little rough on the fish, but will catch shiners out of deeper water.
I used to run a seine through a pool in the Mill Creek in Cincinnati and rarely catch a shiner. A minute later with a cast net I would catch more shiners than any other fish.

There are living organisms in the Mill Creek? Zoinks!Since there are few snags try using a cast net.
