Snap Shooting Techniques, which do you prefer?

I have been looking at different snap shooting techniques and wondering what style people generally prefer and what people thought about different techniques. The two particular styles I am going to be referring to are

A. The free style snap or 'old style' as some people call it, where you have you loader either vertical or bunker side of shooting line. Players tend to pop out using their legs and/or hips. This seems quite popular with the U.S. teams such as Dynasty and Ironmen e.g.

B. The strict or 'new style' as seen in the dvd 'ONE WITH THE GUN' which I assume Joy Division adopt, where you 'roll' out into the snap position, with a smaller overall profile but your loader is more in your face/view e.g.

Generally, I'm more comfortable with snapping technique A. I like to have a clear view down my barrel when possible, perhaps at the expense of being a little more exposed.

So what do other people prefer; A, B, or something else?

A accept on T-bag style bunker (because of angled)
I'm not enough strong to use the B style all day :D
