Whip clip - fixed or slide?

Hey everyone,
This isn't a question of SA or Raiders vs. Indiana Jones and the Fill in The Blank - This is a question of taste and preference.
What is your preference - a fixed whip holder or a slide whip holder? Why?
Personally, I've always liked mine fixed on the side, and I've always kept my whip in the what I've dubbed "fake snake" position - the way it is neatly and tightly coiled in the Well of Souls when Marion thinks it's a snake and burns Indy (with the handle high and facing forward within easy reach). However, I've seen that many people wear it with the handle hanging down the leg.
So I guess there are two questions here - Fixed or slide and Handle High or Handle Low?

I usually like my holder to slide, and let the whip handle hang down. But as you guys know, that's not the most practical thing to do - I really only do this for when I'm showing off the gear. If I know I'll be moving / walking around a lot, I'll do the "fake snake." I keep the whip holder loose though so that I can adjust the whip's position - either LC style where he's got it on the front of his thigh "Don't worry, this is kiddie play" or Raiders style where he's got it under the MkVII.
