Preferred Pinkie Alternation

Couldn't find this in a search, so I thought I'd pose the question:

I've generally thought the the preferred pinkie kies for a D scale 1st octave or A scale 2nd octave would be LH B and RH C#. (Closer reach) Then RH E/B and LH F#/C# for E, B and F# scales, where D#/Eb is an issue.

But looking at some warmup materials for one of my young high schoolers, I see RH B and LH C# being indicated for the D scale. Has this snuck by me as a preference for that scale?
