Circle or J hook

Was wondering what hook is used more often, circle or J style. Just curious. I have been using J hooks myself.

Circle hook for me. Less chance of me screwing up or missing the hook set

Circle, just let the fish eat the bait and throw it in gear and wind down.

I like a flyline J hook on the surface and a circle hook on the dropper loop

I use circle hooks for everything, I haven't landed a fish that didn't have the hook set in the corner of the mouth

Circle, especially if you are going to release it.

I tied on a J hook last night but as much as I like to set the hook, now I'm thinking Circle hook.

Circle for sure. It puts it right in the corner of the lip every time.
