I don't mind either way, but it does make a difference for coordinating meetings and for international commerce.
Adding 1 hr is advantageous because it will give the Americas (UTC -8 to -5, minus Hawaii and Alaska) an extra usable overlap hour for meetings with Europe (~UTC 0 to +2), and with Asia-Pacific (~UTC +8 to +9) for 18 weeks of the year.
Europe observes daylight savings, but Asia largely doesn't [1]
