I always use both whole, Regiomontanus. And sometimes I also check Placidus, to see how different the cusps may be from Regio. Can be helpful and interesting.
nevertheless keep in mind that some astrologers use BOTH
i.e.
WHOLE SIGN HOUSES clearly determines TOPICS
and
eliminates ambiguity of HOUSE location of PLANET
and then
using ANY quadrant house system AS WELL
such as
Placidus
Alcabitius
et al
assists with determining PLANETARY STRENGTH
tsmalls comment explains the rationale
thus
tsmall uses BOTH whole signs AND Placidus
and
I use BOTH whole signs AND Alcabitius
however
some use whole sign AND Regiomontanus
clearly then
since there are multiple QUADRANT house systems
its a matter for personal choice
which to use
in tandem with WHOLE SIGN
IF one chooses to do so
i.e.
some astrologers prefer EITHER one OR the other NOT both
