alter system v shutdown abort

Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me an alter system kill session 'sid,serial#'; will kill runaway processes or long running queries as efficiently as doing a shutdown abort, startup , shutdown immediate? I have always run a job which shutdown kills all users who shouldn't be on after a specific time but the SA at my new job is skepticle because another DBA told him to use a shutdown abort, startup, shutdown immediate sequence.

Thanks in advance,
Ruth
