Same. Pick one. I don't care which. They both have their pros and cons. Plus, it's an arbitrary number and nothing actually forces people to believe things like "the work day should be 9-5" (though admittedly, changing social norms is difficult).

Saskatchewan has the right idea. Its timezone is a bit weird, but nobody there cares and is just glad to not have to deal with DST. For non Canadians: it's the part of Canada in this map where something that looks like it should be -6 (central time) juts into -7 (mountain time). They don't have DST and it's one of the few things Saskatchewan gets right anymore.
