Question learning wheelies: clutch vs bounce

SIT DOWN/CLUTCH vs STAND UP/BOUNCE. just interested in what everyone thinks is the best way to learn wheelies. i've been working on stand-ups/bouncing in 2nd, simply because thats what feels the most comfortable (but they still suck!). i'd like to eventually learn both ways, so lemme know what you think.
**** i shoulda made a poll... admin wanna help me out?

stand up with the clutch and use a little bounce. much more control. hoover on the rear brake. Adjust it so you can use it well.

I think sitdowns are easier to learn personaly, I feel more comfortable with my *** on the set. Then when you get over your fears stand up.

I learned with throttle sit downs on first and now I bounce 2nd or 3rd standups on the e-way, get your basics going, do sitdowns for a while till you get that throttle control and balance, after that try standups on 2nd. My 2c.
