To add to what Jared has mentioned;
Years ago a tooling distributor corrected me on profile terminology when referring to a shaker profile. ?I was asking about shaker cutters and he was sending me pictures of a cutter that cut a 15 degree bevel for the inner edge of the rails and stiles. ?I told him, I¡¯m looking for a square edge shaker cutter. ?He said then you want a ¡°Mission¡± style profile. ?Apparently this is the difference between the two. ?I guess I have to trust what he was telling me. ?
Thx,
Wade

As David already mentioned "shaker" generally denotes a square edge (or 15 degree) sticking and a flat front panel. The industry has somewhat?bastardized that nomenclature to mean anything flat panel regardless of the sticking detail ("fancy" shaker)
A reverse raised panel would be correct for a copy/reproduction of a original shaker cabinet?
If a flat (front) panel is your choice, I prefer a reverse raised (raise towards the interior). It gives more heft and a solid feel to the door. If you use plywood (or mdf/hdf) a 1/2" panel works well. Some will use a 3/8 panel in mdf/hdf to avoid the panel being proud of the frame.?
These are paint grade 1.125" thick doors, reverse raise (ogee) 1/2" mdf panels

Thanks David. Both are definitely viable options.

?Shaker style doors have a flat front and back.? If you are working with a panel that is thicker than the groove for the panel, you could put a rebate on the back of the panel as shown below:
Or you could use a coved rebate on the back like this:

Well my next project is using Shaker style cabinet door. I would like to find out what raised panel profile you think looks good on the interior.
I imagine, the raised panel profile may go hand in hand with a rail and stile profile as well but I am okay no profile on the rail and stile. Which means, I would just be milling a tenon on rails.
There are way too many options out there so something from experience is very helpful.
I would close by saying that I am omitting, a flat plywood panel, as an option. I think it would make the door light and lend to a low quality feel. Please correct me if I¡¯m wrong in thinking so.
