It's preferences and situational. BJJ is all situational, so there is never a 'way' to do things. I normally like to stay on my toes, it gives me a little more height in my posture so it's harder for the person to try to break it down. But this gets tiring if you're in guard for a while, so if you plan to stick around for a bit, I'll put my foot on the mat. Hope this helps.
