I use "B" when I can but certain shots require different sight pictures. At the bench I use The "B" hold because there is less chance of error. You can't go left or right and up and down it is more or less fixed? On moving targets I use "A" due to less time to dial in. In low light it also works for me, Sometimes? LOL!
 
All of the above. Depends on the gun*. All part of the fun of learning your firearm.

* Milsurps mostly. I generally don't mess with the sights on a collectible. I just learn which sight picture to use and where to hold it for each gun.

Nevertheless, my preferred sight picture would be "A" with "centered" hold.
 
I guess "A" level with the top of the rear sight but I don't like those rear sights that angle down. I like a flat rear sight so I can put the front sight level with the top of the rear sight.

I hold centered and adjust what the "center" is based on distance and wind.

I hold the same !
 
The "post" rests in the notch, even across the top, with the post at 6 o'clock on the bull at 50. I try to shoot close at game. For a gong farther out, just put the post a bit higher.
