Actually, in training and in real world scenarios, I've found that modded versions of both main styles can be effective. The truth is, find one that works, but train to be flexible in application given each situation is unique.
Just my 2 pesos.
Modern Iso works for pistol, subgun/carbine, tac shotgun and provides 4 distinct beneifts:
1) 360 degree mobility
2) stability
3) natural point of aim
4) balance
When used in conjunction with proper tension and master grip, even the smallest of people can control large caliber firearms acurately and with ease.
feet on the ground - hands on the gun is what i use.
edit # 2: the more i read the more my answer above is correct, I think i use a combination, i use what i can hit the target with walking and standing.

I must have been a cop in a previous life. I use a Weaver stance with my body angled slightly, left shoulder forwards (I'm right handed). I have no idea where I picked it up - I am pretty sure that in the bad old days when all I had were airsoft and paintball guns I used the same stance so when my brother in law first took me shooting I fell into it naturally (and outshot him which went down well)
"A lot of people seem obliged to have a viewpoint."
I am very right handed... my left brain is retarded. Weaver stand makes me 2x better shooter than iso.
Im a weaver shooter as well.
I was recently at a hand gun traing class and the instructor (who is a current swap and police officer) siad that all they teach and recommend is the iso stance. I told him that after 27 years of shooting, good luck on changing my stance now.
Weaver is just what I have always done, so I feel that is why is is more comfortable and natural for me.
