I've done both, and for me personally, consistent night turns are easier than varying schedules all the time. I did that for years and adjusted very easily. We have a lot of 24 hour overnights on the 74, which are the worst...a complete flip in the body clock is required, though rarely happens.
Of course...we also have 3+ day sits in places like SYD, HKG, NRT, PVG, LEJ, etc...so you take the good with the bad.
