Declining Runs
I'd prefer if the runners did the job that was posted, yes. It's not fun for the teammates if one runner just up and leaves. I try to both select characters and format the run post to prevent this from happening. The goal here is to take you on runs, not have you show up, decline and then walk away.
Derailing A Run
While I will avoid players and characters who enter a run with the intention of causing chaos and derailing it, if the players seek to go about the run in a bizarre way or even backstab the Johnson then I'm all for it. There's no set way to do a certain thing and I go in knowing something I'd never expect will probably happen. Just be patient, if things get too crazy I may need to call a break to go over rules or set up an un-exptected combat. And remember, actions have consequences.
Consequence and Failure
One of the more interesting things about shadowrun is that enemies play with similar hands. Going in hot without a plan? You might pull it off but people have seen you there and will be wary next time, if you can pull it off at all. Failure comes hand in hand with success, without the risk being present the victories aren't won. The 6th world is a dangerous threat and going in unaware and without a plan can lead to the odds quickly being stacked against you. That being said, I never go into anything with the idea that the players should fail. I'm here to provide a good time, sometimes a challenging one, not kill you and your dog.
The Sixth World
While this is a bit of an un-popular view of the world of shadowrun, I think my favorite aspect of shadowrun is its inherent ridiculousness. This view is only exacerbated by the fact I live in Seattle in its current dystopian existence. And let's face it, Shadowrun can be a little goofy at times. Those are my favorite times. I generally prefer more lighthearted runs with a more casual tone and an emphasis on the parts of the world I enjoy. Expect trolls. However, THIS IS NOT A GOLDEN RULE. While my standard is light-hearted, I also enjoy DMing intrigue and horror, though less often. I try not to be a one trick pony. The runs with vastly different tones I will mark as such so no one gets confused.
