Looks like this will still allow him direct NFL coaching/scouting contact

How many other consensus All-Americans didn't receive a Senior Bowl invite??

True but will get a chance to meet scouts: 

The student-athletes will participate in various virtual training/informational drills with current NFL coaches and members of the NFL Operations staff.

Is it a case where a player needs to choose one of the two?

Back in the 60’s it seems to me the East-West Shrine game was the prestigious All Star football game & I believe Gil Brandt was one of the selectors of talent for that game. (I stand to be corrected, of course)

Yes and no. The senior bowl is definitely the premier game and every player that is invited to both will choose the senior bowl if they go to either. However the shrine game is usually the week before and a few players from the Shrine game that have the best weeks usually get “promoted” and invited to the senior bowl as well. Obviously not the case with no practices and game for the Shrine bowl this year, but potentially a player could get hurt or opt out of the Senior bowl and Darden could get an invite.
