there will be no difference in the result when using the engish method, but I think it might be easier to stick to one method, but that’s only my opinion.

English, conti, the stitches are the same in the end.

Several people here use a kind-of-English method for purling because the conti purl is too convoluted. Just go with what feels good for you–as long as the yarn is wrapped properly, it doesn’t matter how it got that way
