I'd prefer FO-FO for initial since you can concentrate on FO stuff and help each other. After you are familiar CA-FO works perfect.

On some aircraft (like the 737) there are Captain specific toys (like the Heads Up Guidance System) that take a lot of time to get through all the possible permutations while you sit there with nothing to do.
