I think this is a very personal thing - the sort of question you will get three different answers from three different people - and the advice will vary over the years too as fashion , trends and opinions change.
For what it is worth - by the time I finished "serious" pistol target shooting I had virtually eliminated all first stage travel and now I only shoot for leisure I still find that this is what works best for me.
I suggest you listen to all the opinions and judge the reasoning given (if any) and experiment to see what you find the most comfortable to work with - and don't be surprised if this changes over the years 😂
Copying what somebody else does just because they are a good shot does not automatically mean this is the best option for you, but it is certainly worth a try as you experiment to find your own preference.
Good luck 😎
