Shad:
I have also done well on small clousers (size 6) where I trim the tails off behind the hooks. I would tie a bunch up in different color patterns (Blue over white, Chart over white, Orange over white, pink over white). I also would always fish two flies for them and keep swapping colors until I find what they are dialed in on. Honestly though, I think they aren't that picky. I'm more convinced the key is finding fish, getting it in front of them and presenting it well. I have seen people catch them on some pretty haggard patterns.
If you are buying from a store, I know Tommy Mattoli's patterns are pretty popular. and orvis carries them.
Stripers:
Baitfish patterns. A clouser or a deceiver is a safe bet. Stripers are targeted by so many fly anglers through out the country that searching online will turn up tons of really cool patterns people use.
