I learned to roll with a pawlata roll which I still resort to when I absolutely have to come up right now! The pawlata has so much leverage to it that I can pretty much roll up anything with it, including sit-on-tops. I understand the C to C is popular with whitewater, but in the ocean I have not found any advantages to it, and the screw roll has developed into my default roll. I have resorted to the hand roll a couple of times while screwing around in the surf and I lost my paddle, but I really consider it more of a stunt then an actual recovery technique.
