Knowing both is best, of course.
Goofy was frowned upon a bit in the 90's when I started. I knew it was the way for me after being a Steadicam assistant & AC for years, and through trial and error, I learned it was the best for me.
Besides, I skateboarded, snowboarded, water skied, and repelled goofy.
In smaller markets it can help by operating on the smart side of cameras.
If it makes sense and feels much better - you're probably goofy.
Fly smart - have fun!
