Back in.
Been boating for over 20 years and was a pro until I started boating again in Havasu 10 year ago. Used to beaching the boat that I am still relearning how to back into docs a Topock.

It's all about the length of the boat vs the length of the dock. Most guys 25 and over should be backing in IMO. It allows better access from cockpit to the dock. 24 ft and under like my 23 footer usually fit well bow in first without hitting the center while using the cleats. The only places I usually have to back into are the springs and the blue water. Their docks are short imo.

I've always pulled straight in. Never liked how any of my boats tied up bit somehow just muddle through the process.
I used to tied the front cleats straight across to each side of the dock to center the boat and then tie each rear cleat to each side. But usually this made the boat stick way out in the rear.
I might have to give the back in method some practice time soon.
