I would go with whatever feels more natural. I wouldn’t switch if it causes a lot of confusion. You can definitely get by without use of the pinky.

I just read this article yesterday about what Andy Summers (very notable guitarist for The Police) where he said you can play any chord with 2 or 3 notes. I’ll try to find it again and post it here. He has a very unique style of playing, as does with Stewart Copeland on the drums. Add Sting’s infamous song writing skills, and well you’ve got one of the top bands of the 80’s.
