I need input on playing style
Well...here's a clip of a rough demo song I just played quickly D/I.

At 25 secs I play a lead in my usual style.
Then it starts again, first the exact same intro, then at about 1:20 I play the same lead but in a very different style (I'm being talked into playing it like that).
I can understand that maybe it sounds neater to some in the latter part where I don't play with my usual loose feel, I play to accents and such and not intentionally a little free-based...but I just hate playing like that, it feels like I'm playing someone else's riff if I play it the same way every time.
So the question is: which style feels better for you as a listener? Does it sound better when it's done in a boring square playing style or with my usual style of intentionally breaking the rhythm/picking and playing a bit quirkily?
