"Much debated" topics are often that way because there is relative merit on both sides. And the argument is not so clear as to have a hands-down winner.

For this debate, I have found the difference to be small enough to recommend that you make your own decision, within reason of course. Don't over-accelerate, but beyond that, you choose whether you would like to ever-so-slowly accelerate, or whether you would like to get up to speed quicker, thus getting into 'glide' mode sooner.
