There is no choice involved. If you install a shared library, it
will be used by default on most systems. Few people know of or
consider the choice.

Saving resources is not relevant here. libixp is so small that
the resources required to dynamically link it are greater than
those required to statically link it. As for updating the
library without relinking applications, it's of arguable merit
(and it's been argued here many times).

Never regret anything
whatever it is, you're not responsible.
