It's up to you, but they want the real you. Just keep in mind that figuring out how to tell your story is different from having the answers before hand.
This.... and then this some more.
I used Emerald Coast, and I found them very useful in helping me put my stories in a logical order without coming across as blabbing or getting sidetracked, but they were my stories nonetheless.
By the time you reach this level of the game (major airline interview), you shouldn't need canned answers and should have plenty of stories to tell. If you use the interview prep for canned answers, at Southwest, you will almost certainly not get hired. If you use the prep to help you polish up your delivery of your own stories and experiences, you will do just fine.
