I am not the expert that Rocky is, by no means, but honestly, I like pleating to the sett. I like the way the sett shows all the way around.. Sometimes I feel the stripe changes the dynamics of the tartan... not a bad thing, it can bring out colors you wish to accentuate. Like I said, I am no expert, it's only my preference.. and since you are asking for opinions, this is mine.
LOL by the way, since my Leatherneck is a 4 yd box pleat, it's pleated to the stripe (as it should be) and I like it a lot..lol but refering to a knife pleat kilt.. I normally like pleating to the sett, as long as it's pleasing to the eye, and feasible.
Reguardless how you choose, you will have a very nice kilt.
