Do you find you get better grades when you do same day grading at a show?

with PCGS? with NGC? Curious if it is worth the investment when it is a bigger value item...

No. But I am 100% sure that it is faster.

Not if you include the cost of shipping.

You need to find a new shipping company! If your coins are worth $200K each, then the price is competitive. If your coins are worth $1000 each and you submit the minimum required (5 coins), show economy will cost you $325 and regular will cost you $150... thats means you'd have to pay $175 in shipping for $5000 in coins. PCGS charges $30 for $5000 (5 coins).

There is no way to know the answer to that question, so all anyone can do is guess. My guess is "no".

I believe that years ago, the majority perception was, that on certain occasions, show grading was looser. But, right or wrong, that perception has changed. Here's another guess - if I were a grader at a show and felt rushed, I think that I might tend to be more conservative, rather than loose on a liner coin.
