Butt first is definately the way to go for me. Bucket, you may be surprised how easy it is to capsize when you don't have your weight low in the boat. The CLCs have a nice large cockpit that makes bringing the legs in pretty easy (but I'm only 175 lbs). You might want to consider making your cockpit opening even larger.
