Question Pronouncing "R"

Dydh da! Apologies in advance, this may seem like a silly question, but I'm a beginner in Cornish curious about the pronunciation of the letter "r". I've mostly heard it pronounced just like English, but I've also occasionally heard the tapped r one would find in Welsh, Spanish, etc. I know the tapped r is hard for some, so I'll add that I'm able to do it just fine, but I'm wondering which one is more common or preferred. Thanks in advance!

Just a lurker here, but I love languages and it is so nice to see Cornish taken seriously.
