First a clarification, our cars DO NOT HAVE A PARKING PAWL, that is a device used in an automatic transmission. What we have is a Parking Brake. A device that has worked well for manual transmission auto's since the Ford Model T was introduced.

As for what gear I use when parking, I learned how to drive in a 1970 VW Beetle and in that car Reverse was a "lower gear" than First. So, out of habit I put my FiST in Reverse when parking.

reverse, because Saab habits die hard, and it is lower than first in many cars
I miss Saab. When I was very young my mom and I had one. 😞
Besides that I always use first and handbrake. My dad taught me that after he found his mk1 TT in the middle of the road one morning...
