Switches on tube gear - standby question

I'm talking about a 3 way switch with standby on the bottom, off in the middle & on is up.

to go from standby to on you have to move through off. I was told that it was off so briefly that it did not matter.

Seems like off, standby, on is a better way.

Please edumacate me on whether this matters or not.

Thanks

Correct panning of guitars?

For hard rock music, what do you people all think the best way to track/pan the guitars is?
For a band with 2 guitarists where one isn't necessarily the lead, I've been recording 4 tracks and balancing them evenly.

-GuitarA - 2 tracks, one extreme left and one extreme right, both at the same level
-GuitarB - 2 tracks, same setup
