Should I use Future lighting or Shadowmap lighting on my game?

- Future: Realistic shadows from lights but the worst performing lighting type
- Shadowmap: Basic lighting from lights but performs better than future

I was originally gonna use Future lighting for my game, but during testing the game ran very poorly on my gaming laptop. Upon trying Shadowmap, the game ran perfectly fine.

I have a lot of experience with both lighting types and I just need you guys to make the call on whether or not I switch to Shadowmap.
