I went twice, once in december when the weather was moderate in Taipei and still very warm in Kioushung / Kenting, and lst year in September. I arrived just after a taifun, what do you expect when traveling in the season, and it was very hot and humid. Flights tend to be very expensive during chinese new year and the moon festival.
Shoppingwise in Taipei I would recomend the underground malls all around the main train station and the market near the peace park. 101 has lots of boutiques where you will find all the big names. Shilin night market is interesting but the signs already say "tourist night market" so it is a bit touristy but still value for money. For souvenirs have a look in the shop in the CKS memorial hall. Have a look at my photos from the first time: http://www.geocities.com/ottmar_morett/twphoto.htm

Ximingding has really good cheap clothes for young people you can also see some pretty good street performers. Its good to go in the day if you want to avoid the crowds but the nighttime isn't that bad.

Depending on what you really want to shop for. The night markets there are really good. It's really big and lots of variety.
