If it works in your local area and it is accepted, USE IT. Otherwise stick to what has been researched, documented and tested over time.

I did a quick check on 2 states IL and NH that have mechanics available online and both teach and endorse pos b in all cases, with men on base, except r1 and R2, or r2 only.
Perhaps they are rogue states teaching a bad mechanic that hasn't been tested, but it makes sense to me. If you're playing the per centages this mechanic puts you in the best position and after all isn't that what we are striving for?
