You can find people who play with others sweetened and sound in tune, straight up ET and play with others in tune (Buddy), and you can find people who tune straight up and can't play with others and you can find people who tune sweetened and can't play in tune with others.
You have to align your ears and your hands.
Lazy me
It doesn't matter which. Great players have used any method you can think of and sound good. Mediocre players have managed to sound mediocre in every single tuning scheme. Find a tuning that sounds good to you, and let your ears guide your hands as you play. With ears and judgment, you can make nearly anything work (so long as you don't sharp the thirds, that just sounds evil)
