Should I get a barrel-grip or D-handle (top-handle) jigsaw?

Reviewers and high-trust forum threads describe this as a personal-preference split. Barrel-grip fans cite finer control for scrolling and curved cuts and not having to hold a trigger during long cuts, while D-handle users prefer the trigger modulation and the ability to press the shoe firmly into the work. Experienced users and some pros lean barrel grip; occasional users often find the D-handle more familiar.
