Shadow Dragon was much tougher than Firgraag for me.
I did the Firgraag quest very early in my initial run with the game. Party consisted of:
PC: 10th lvl Sorcerer
Minsc: 9th lvl
Korgan: 9th lvl
Aerie: 8th/9th level C/M (I think)
Jahiera: 9th/10th lvl F/D
Yoshi: 9th lvl
First did the "fake talk" strategy and it was a breeze. After reading a post here about the "beauty and honor" of dragons I felt that the big boy deserved a fair fight. Summoned a bunch of stuff and beat him that way with no loss of any NPCs.
Reloaded the game at the beginning of chapter 2 to add Jan and Anomen for Aerie and Yoshi. By the time I got to the Temple Ruins quest I was:
PC: 10th lvl sorcerer
Minsc: 10th lvl
Anomen: 9th lvl Cleric (he had already passed his test)
Jahiera: 9th/11th lvl F/D
Viconia: 9th lvl
Jan: 9th/10th lvl M/T
Not sure if these battles get harder if your party is a higher level... but the Shadow dragon was much tougher. Had to reload a few times before I worked out a winning strategy.
About to do seeing eye quest so I'm sure both of these battles will pale in comparison to what's next...
