Both.
I cant the bow and shoot split-finger most of the time.
But, I do sometimes switch to 3-under for 20-30 yards shots. I also use 3-under at first if I don't shoot for a couple of weeks. Seems to help me dial-back-in quicker and re-train my eyes and muscles for shooting. Probably a bad habit and I should focus on one or the other solely...what would G. Fred say???
BTW, I nock the arrow under the string nock with either shooting style.

Just as an interesting point to ponder...
The NASP, National Archery in the Schools Program pondered this topic of finger releases to teach to new shooters. The final decision was to teach everyone 3 fingers under as it allowed for quicker and longer lasting results across the board.
I shoot both fairly interchangably, but have decided that since I'm now a NASP Instructor, I'd better get with the program I teach and go 3 under all the time.

For me I usually find the optimal nocking point then tie dental floss just above that. I HATE those brass clips. I hate em, I hate em, I HATE EM!! They cut your serving, they cut your glove and I just don't much care for 'em at all. I shoot split finger, canted, cross dominant and G. Fred's ideas clash with mine.
I'm just ALL outta whack. But I love to shoot.

Three-under. I knock over a metal knock set. I have a notch in the top of my tab that I line up on the knock set to help the consistency of my finger placement on the string. I feel that by nocking above the knock set it reduces the opportunity to pinch the nock. When my nocks fit tight on the serving I shoot with only the metal nock set below my nock. If my nocks are loose on the serving I tie a small nock set above the arrow, in addition to the metal nock set below, with light weight sewing thread.
I use a metal knock set below since I am constantly putting pressure on it with each shot. I find that the tie on knock sets are more prone to slip and slide when pressure is placed on them.
