Isnt it more of a when, than which you would do. Its gota be SPP for the satisfaction though. Its the only way you can say you know how the lock works, raking for speed and simple things. SPP for any sort of chalenge and understanding.

I agree with Afisch, in a competion scenario a few quick rakes then onto single pin if raking didnt pop it.
But at home the favourite's gotta be SPP, for the knowledge of the lock.
