Unclear what your goals are.  For example, if you have 150 Mbps, why do you wish to restrict traffic to 90 Mbps?

Your goal of insuring traffic is never dropped, might be unrealistic.  Some traffic types only use a specific amount of bandwidth, and for those, you can often obtain enough bandwidth to avoid drops, but much other traffic will attempt to consume all possible bandwidth, and for that traffic, sometimes drops are what indicates to the sender all available bandwidth has been used.  The best you might accomplish for the latter, is minimal drops to control sender's flow transmission rate to the available bandwidth.

The foregoing paragraph pertains to "typical" QoS features found on a Cisco router.  There are 3rd party traffic management applicances that can do even more to regulate traffic.

Regarding whether a policer or shaper is best practice, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

I want to make sure that CRI traffic never goes over 90 meg

Then you can shape or police the class at 90 Mbps. Which to use? Depends whether you want to buffer/queue overrate traffic or just drop it. Shaping for the former, policing for the latter.

I would like to buffer and queue not drop.
