I personally use default solely because I've already gotten hundreds of hours of muscle memory using it across 2042, BF3 and 4, but if you're just starting out you should definitely look into rifle aim, as it does allow you an unparalleled level of accuracy, which is especially noticeable in 1vs1 face to face nightbird duels, where a rifle aim pilot will be able to consistently shoot out enemy pilots. However, at the end of the day its all about what you yourself feel comfortable with, and whats important is that you pick one control method and just stick with it - I myself fly default and I dont think the results are too shabby: if you do choose to fly default its important to understand that you need to use and incorporate the roll as much as possible into your aiming; default also allows for a more movement based playstyle where your shooting of the enemies is integrated into very strong sideways and backwards flying manoeuvres that can make you virtually untouchable in the right conditions - rifle aim on the other hand can tend to make you play like a turret, hovering in a stationary manner and shooting at enemies from that floating position - this can make you more vulnerable to conventional attacks and can increase your effective downtime - what I like about my particular movement playstyle is that it allows me to seamlessly glide across the map, remaining effective even on the move.
