Well, the people in the know suggest that RPM would be the best way to simulate the magic in Shadowrun. So let's go with that. I would suggest that people get magical power at random, so they're evenly spread over the globe.
Do existing traditions matter? That's a good question. If they do, then yes, traditional societies will have an advantage over industrialised societies. If they don't, industrialized nations will have a massive advantage, since they can put resources into magical research that would dwarf anything traditional societies can.
