OB: OP versus OA

My recent case brings up a question--when a baby is OP, or LOP, +2, and
needs delivery, I have always felt that an attempted rotation with
Kielland forceps is best, as babies "fit" better OA. I am aware that
delivering OP is acceptable, too, and that the decision as to which
probably depends on the skill/experience/lack of common sense (LOL) of
the operator.
That said, what do others think in regard to how babies best fit--OP or
OA?
What do others do when faced with this?
