Either. The eggs want a pinch of salt in any case.

The only time I scramble in the pan is when I've broken a yolk
in setting out to do fried eggs. I like to beat well, add some
chives (nothing else -- otherwise I go the omelet route...),
and 1-2 tsp. milk or half-and-half. Then into the pan and do a quick
mix with the melted butter, and leisurely fold into large curds
as the eggs set. Remove from pan _before_ they are perfectly set
to your taste, as they keep cooking for a bit. Yummy.
