Neither this is important. Nothing is more important from something else. It is only a matter of taste. I'm attracted more by positions with mate in X, in which the material is equal or the side that is about to mate is behind in material. You like more positions which seem "good to the eyes" and they are pretty, other persons may like something else ...etc.

It doesn't really matter. I don't see any difference. The only thing we should speak is about legal positions.
