I mostly use conservatoire C (xoo|xoo) due to the better tone quality, and only really use the thumbplate Bb and C for some arpeggios and tremolos.
Though come to think of it, if going from Ab to Bb using the forked fingering I can take my thumb off, and play an Ab-Bb-C sequence like this (with thumb off thumblate):
Ab: xxxG#|ooo
Bb: xoxG#|ooo
C: xoo|ooo
In fact, a whole-tone scale starting on low Bb, C, D, E, or F# can be played upwards using those Ab-Bb-C fingerings as part of the whole-tone scale.
