Reply to Headphone Mix and cueing

When you guys beatmatch do u guys use 1 or 2?

1. Headphone mix : 50% (Cue vs Master) and both ears listening to headphones

2. Headphone mix : 100% (Cue) on 1 ear using headphones, other ear on live monitors/ speakers

3. Headphone mix 100% (Master) with both ears on headphones or

4. Not use headphones at all and just listen to the house speakers

I'm sure theres no proper way but just wanted to get some opinions. Feel i've been using iems and 50% headphone cue too much (1 and 3), and am personally too used to it.
