I've seen these two trains of thought go back and forth more than a few times.
I'm with the squared up, butt in the chest, short LOP train... but I'm primarily a combat and 3-gun shooter, running and gunning a Benelli auto. That's the way I trained and that's the way I shoot. It ain't wrong, it's just not the regular sporting stance. Besides, it's really hard to run sideways.
The flip side oneounceload... I know that a sporting shooter such as yourself uses a more traditional angled stance with butt more in the shoulder. I know from what I've read about your shooting excursions that you're a good shot, so I know that this stance works great for you... as it does for millions of other sporting shooters.
Cheers and peace on earth,
C
