Hey Andy--A lot of people certainly do prefer the stretch; my thinking is that they feel that it may be more resistant to evolving into its own secondary. I've not found that to be the case, provided you bounce w/ the correct succeeding vowel sound (not a schwa), and the number of bounces is varied (i.e., until one has complete gentle control). Another thing to think about is the reality that stretching or bouncing on a voiceless sound isn't nearly as effective as a voiced sound. Because of all this, I've historically suggested bouncing on the plosives, stretching on the first available voiced sonorant.
