I would say try the more unnatural techniques that feel awkward at first. As one teacher told me "you will need the extra efficiency that this tecnique will give you when you learn to play faster." Many times in a fast tune I revert to doing whatever I can.
I play in a few jams. A slower jam is ideal for using strict technique on both hands as well as practicing runs and fills and bass note selection.
