I have toes strap/foot retention pedal but its pieces of garbage that came with bike, so I decided to swap it with Catalyst Flat Pedal and its work both, I never experiences any "foot slipping" if you meant that ;)

Yep, and its flip flop hub so it can ride both setup :)

I mash at low cadence and spin at high cadence.

Always have; always will.

A bit of both but I do put on a bigger gear for group rides with geared bikes as I am more likely to get dropped from being spun out on the faster sections.

Almost sounds like an alcohol question for Foo!

Mash and grind that chain to oblivion! Since most of my riding is for sanity's sake, I do enjoy a good stress relieving grind--my gearing is set a bit higher than most for this reason.

Whatever the situation calls for.
