You want to be careful with the type of alcohol you use when softening a brush that has had shellac hardened on it, or softening a shellaced surface that you want to keep nice. Alcohol with too much water in it will make the shellac haze up. If you are not trying to save the surface, it is not so important what type of alcohol you use.
