Should I make my suit sleeve shorter or longer if wearing French cuffs vs a regular dress shirt? Is 1/2" showing still the norm for either?

I always like to show off a bit more cuff when wearing french ones but it is customary to wear them about the same lenght. for french cuff it can be a matter of preference as long as your not showing too little or too much.

Is 1/2 of sleeve showing still the "norm" or has that changed?
