Default Timing gears use.

When building a warmed up A/B , is it best to use straight cut timing gears over, say...helical cut gears ?
I’m mindful of the FORWARD motion being forced on the cam (against cam button/spring). Can most of this forward motion/wear be eliminated with use of straight cut timing gears ?


ANSWER:
Well, according to Dan's answer/contribution to this thread...the answer to my question is...YES !
Thanks Dan. That's kind of what I remember from a convo with you from a loong time ago.
