[POLL] Steins;Gate Watch Order?

Yoo Steins Gate Viewers! I was looking up the Steins;Gate watch order, mainly to figure out when to watch the movie. BUT apparently there is a "different" way to watch the series in order that changes the experience I guess? I was going to watch it all in order of release (SG, SG episode 23b, then SG 0, then SG Movie) but I'm guessing because of the whole plot being confusing and dealing with time this other order is also suggested before watching episode 23-24:

"For the best experience, watch the original Steins;Gate (S1) Episodes 1-22, then the special Episode 23β ("Divide by Zero"), followed by the entire Steins;Gate 0 series, and finally, return to Steins;Gate Episodes 23-24 for the true ending, optionally adding the movie (Load Region of Déjà Vu) afterward. This "mixed" order provides the intended narrative flow, especially for S;G 0, which fills in crucial backstory for the original series' conclusion."

I've seen mainly the pros being it probably clarifies things plot wise before jumping into the finale. I also seen cons from actual people saying for first time watchers it drags on long from the person experiencing the ending that its just worth it to watch in regular order.

So once again, it's up to you guys! We'll be watching all eps anyways
