It sounds like a platitude, but use what you feel most comfortable with.
I can amplify that by observing that, in cw, it's not speed that counts, but
fluency. My wife doesn't know cw but does know music; she's a music teacher;
and she can recognize cw that's fluent, as opposed to cw that isn't. Call this subjective if you like, but experienced ops know it's very real.
Keep that straight key connected in parallel with whatever else you eventually
come to use. Electronic keyers at slow speeds almost never give the listener
an impression of fluency.
Those are my thoughts, for what they're worth.
