pinky is faster, but you can just do it after a U' or U2
to do it after a U, you need to improve a lot, or change the method of U
 
Both means you should use them both when you are in the right position. Either means it does not matter which one you use.

In certain positions it is easier for my to use my ring or my pinky for L turns so I have to say that you should use both. Whenever you are in the right position use the pinky and when you are in the right position use the ring.

I'm a right-handed cuber by the way, so I trun R as U or as R using a finger trick I found out(it allows me to turn R2 almost as fast as a regular R2).
 
I'm very surprised at the poll results. I find that my pinky is just as strong/versatile, if not more, than my ring finger. I use my ring finger to help hold the cube so I have less balance when i use it to turn.
 
Pinky because I use ring for D moves. It's a bit awkward right now, but I think that with practice I'll be able to get some fingertricks down and be comfortable on OH U,L,D instead of just U,L
