>I'm really referring to buying calls vs selling puts.

On a daytrade basis as you seem to indicate your tactic is, a long call is
the same reward as a short put. Different margin requirements.

On a position trade basis the long call has better risk control than short
put.

Hence daytrade wise it doesn't matter. What you gain on short put is the
same as your gain on long call.

Same deal - 2 sides of same coin. For the daytrade.
