For me with my 7 1/2" sixshooters , in order to be fast , I need a low hung buscadero type rig , thats just what feels good to me , in order to get the gun out fast , or a straight belt with a little extra drop in the strong side holster, like 2 to 3" this helps to get your gun down low enough , so that you don't have to pull the gun all the up to your arm pits ,before the barrel clears leather , now cross draw is a lot easier with a cross draw rig , but then you have to do the SASS dance , so thats a trade off too. but it is faster than the high ride strong side without the drop,(IMHO) as far as to which one is faster , it's what FEELS GOOD TO YOU, you can make both styles work for you , with pratice, I used to be in quick draw years back , and I love the Mat Dillin,type rig , which I have several of , but in this sport they seem to want you to wear a straight belt , with two strong side holsters or one strong side and one cross draw, what I do is I have a 3" drop on my strong side , and 28 degree angle on a cross draw, on the other side , I wear the cross draw in front about 3' from the buckle, this works well for me, hope this helped
