In all honesty, if you find something that works for you when you bench, stick with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it but safety is the number one priority. I find that bringing the barbell down to my chest works best for me, so I stick with it. I know some may not be able to because of shoulder issues.

So when I set up for pressing, I basically dig my shoulder blades so that my upper back is tight. Reason for that is, it helps me control the bar more and helps keep my shoulders healthy. I lower it to the base of my sternum, not the top of my chest. Because, the higher it is on my chest, it'll be harder on my shoulders.
