This just might be a style difference.  Coming up with your body tucked
forward will require a bit less effort than if it is upright.  This
is because you're reducing the rotational inertia of your body.   As 
long as your body motion follows and doesn't lead the hip snap, you 
should be ok.  My problem is opposite - I tend to recover a c-c to 
the rear deck.  Foredeck would be somewhat preferable from a 
control-after-roll perspective.  But the c-c is not one of my preferred 
rolls (shoulder problems).

Personally, if I saw you recover tucked forward, I'd say you've got a 
good roll.  You're ready to go with good hip control as soon as you're
up.
