Does anyone here have cross-dominance?

I’ve just started boxing and i’m having trouble figuring out which stance suits me best because i'm right-handed but left-foot dominant. I feel more comfortable in orthodox when moving forward/attacking and i’m better coordinated in orthodox overall. However, i feel more comfortable defensively in southpaw. I also feel like my left hand is more powerful,possibly because i can generate more power from my dominant left leg.

I’m not sure which stance i should stick with. Should I just choose orthodox since i’m more coordinated in it or is it worth experimenting with southpaw because of my dominant left side? What would you guys recommend?
