Which gridline do you use most often when map making?

I'm curious as to whether the Gridlines we use affect our map making style. I'm expecting it probably not to, but you never know...
I'm hoping it's possible to see who voted for which option in the poll I've added, but if not could you please post up what you voted for, thanks!

'I use different gridlines depending on the map I'm making'

I use grid lines mainly for easy access to points of symmetry.

I always use G probably because I think I need some gridlines and that is the first letter that enters my head as the first letter of gridlines and also in the centre of the keyboard so I've gotten used to it

If I use any gridlines at all, it's L, usually for symmetry as l_d said. That said, I rarely use gridlines, so I voted for V.

Real men don't need gridlines to tell them where to put what.

I am a man.

B is usually the first button I press when in need of gridlines.

I usually use B or L.

I use many different ones, but the one I use the most is 'L'.

I usually use L for my maps, and F for metanet bitesized to tell the size.

I use either M or L. Both cover the whole screen pretty well and show all the tiles. I'm not put off by having too many lines on my map whilst I work.

I use a mixture of a couple of them.

I find it's easier to steal make tilesets with the L gridlines on. I'll usually use M for object placement, though.

EDIT: Or that might be the other way around. I'm too lazy to check.

L, always.

Usually V or G. No reason. I like switching around, though.
