Standing OHP involves your whole body. Sitting takes a lot of that out. I had switched to sitting to save my back while also squatting and doing deadlifts. Trying to stay tight with an upright chest and not lean back was too much extra strain sometimes. Carry over to your bench is what matters. Whatever way works for you.

I hit Seated OHP in Military Press fashion. My Bench grip is used I and stop at my chin. I find that helps carry over to my Bench.
Switching between the two and using different bars has also worked well for me in the past. Like you said, whatever works!
*Standing OHP also utilizes leg drive which is important when Benching.
