In a gunfight you may or may not have the ability to use your "preferred" stance. If you do, you most likely are behind cover or you are standing still.
One will save you and one will get you killed.
I think it's important to know the three basic stances, Iso, Weaver and Chapman in order to have a foundation from which to work from. Then you need to find what works for you.
I myself was a late convert to Iso, having shot the Chapman Stance for years. Now I find the Chapman hard to use and the Weaver fun to shoot from at the Range. Weaver really works well for me when sitting in a car. By using all three stances I can get almost 360 degrees of coverage from a stable platform without moving my feet.
This is not something I advocate doing in a gunfight, just something I practice "just in case." There is no one stance, grip or technique that will work for every situation. The more "tools" you have in your toolbox the better prepared you are.
Just my $0.02.
