Default Right Hand Technique

I'm working on Pachelbel's Canon in D right now and I'm playing it with the thumb taking care of the 3 bottom and 3 fingers taking care of the others. This seems to work out alright except for the fact that my thumb has a tendency to bump the 5th string while it's ringing when it goes to play the 4th. This is bad cuz I want to that bass to ring out as long as possible. Now with concentration I keep the bumping from happening. I was wondering though would it just be better to move my whole right hand position up to play these parts a la classical technique? Or would that mess me up in the long run?

Sorry for the long winded question and hope it makes sense.
