Im experimenting as we speak. Ive decide that a neutral turn is best, not quite as steep as S&T but not as flat as the McDonald drills.
I think it's compatible with either. If I had to choose one, I'd say more compatible with hitting. You're likely to be more upright in the backswing with the arm plane when swinging, flatter with hitting. So the steeper shoulder plane *could* help with getting 'neutral.'

Part of the problem is waist bend with golfers. You get a golfer who is 5'8" tall, using a 46.5" driver and then they wonder why they cannot get their shoulder turn steep enough on the downswing. Well, tough to get waist bend with a driver that long.
