I prefer to use the "two boats one gate" system. To work efficiently this depends on the other steerer being able to either come out of the "wrong" gate or being able to go in via the "wrong" gate and tuck behind the oher gate neatly. Usually easier if the less experienced steerer does the exit manoeuvre. It also reduces the amount of work for the lock workers.
