My two cents
Ok here are my thoughts. The best way to play a plain old g chord is with the pinky on the high e and the middle finger on the 5th and ring finger on the 6th strings - reason is because it's much easier to shift back and forth between C and G that way. This has the. Set economy of motion.
But, then there is the G chord with the D note on the b string added which makes you change the fingers on the 5 and 6 strings. Both are important chords in different contexts. Practice them both. A good exercise to practice any hard chord is the play the chord with one strum remove your fretting fingers, lay fingers across strings muting them out, strum muted strings once them fret and strum the chord again. Repeat over and over. This forces you to make the chord from scratch over and over working it into muscle memory. Enjoy
