Shaping on my Router vs ISP Router

I'm wondering if or how this matters.

Customer called ISP directly, they say they are seeing microbursts which causes drops. (20mbp circuit on 100mbp interface).

Internet circuit, no qos or priority setup/needed. Is there really any benefit to me shaping the traffic in my router or the ISP shaping it in theirs? Someone is still just going to drop traffic.

Of course if we were prioritizing certain things or this was an MPLS or other private circuit, I'd want to be doing shaping, just trying to see if there is really any benefit in the above scenario.
