Rapier Staking Style?

Hey guys, wanted to get opinions on which style you guys use when rapier staking. I can't ever decide. My thinking on each is kind of like this

Attack - Sometimes I use this, because missing even once will almost guarantee a loss at max.

Strength - Use this mostly, try to maximize the damage per hit and hope I don't miss.

Defense - Use this style when I forget to change it from flicking while boxing.

What about you guys? What do you prefer and why?
