reverse ukemi

Just to follow on from the last thread on forward ukemi;

If you do a reverse ukemi (say with the right leg reaching behind you), do you rise with the left leg in front (i.e. you stand up in the same posture you went down with)

OR

do you swing the other (right) leg through whilst you are rising and thus rise in the opposite stance.

I tend to do both (depending on circumstance), but I wondered if anyone is taught both and whether there is anyone that considers the last method to be poor technique?
