Holster Question - FBI Cant or Straight Up

I know that many holsters are adjustable, but I am curious whether most people carry in a holster with the forward "FBI cant" or straight up.

I have my paddle holster adjusted to the most forward cant. I carry a Smith snubbie.

OWB carry, leather pancake and Serpa. Max forward.
However, in competition Serpa is re-adjusted straight up for regulation measure.

..the sharper the cant, the easier to draw while sitting or driving...I've resewn loops to increase the cant on a few holsters...

FBI for me too on all my holsters, except my Bladetech SRB which I bought for match use (now I just have to actually enter a match), which I currently have set to FBI cant, but can be setup to straight up for competition.

IWB Carry holster is canted forward as it makes the firearm easier to conceal under my shirt.

No cant for the competition holster.

It depends.

For most IWB or high ride OWB carry, I go with a 10 - 15 degree forward cant. This conceals my large SA pistols better with most of the clothes I wear.

For OWB with a Serpa or a duty / tactical holster either belt mounted or leg mounted, I prefer straight up.
