Just curious how others like to do it or feel it presents the core design better to users. I come across both at different times and there are aspects I like about both approaches. Though, I typically do the latter.

I'd imagine if it's a design you foresee being used in all-caps settings quite a bit than ABC abc would be preferable.0

Completely depends on the environment and what you want to show for any given specimen / presentation. I do both all the time.0

I use Aa for buttons on my home page, to represent the whole typeface amongst many.
Then ABC… abc… for full showings of the base alphabets.0
