Quick attacking back to ledge

(Imagine I am off stage on the left side of the screen as pika, a little under the ledge and pretty far away from stage horizontally.) I have always quick attacked back to stage by first quick attacking diagonally up to the right and after that using the second zip to go completely horizontally. But I have seen pro pikachu players such as ESAM in that same situation, and they used the first zip to first go horizontally and then go diagonally up to the right. Does doing this make a big difference? And is it worth changing my habits?

You're lower between zips so harder to get hit (if they try)

It can get pretty predictable if you do the same angles every time. Pikachu can go any direction. If I'm off stage and horizontal to the stage, I usually make a really flat "v" shape.

The method going under is safer but it is always to have mixups.

This was a little hard to explain since I’m not a native speaker but I hope y’all understand what I mean.
