Regarding the Operator vs Drifter choice who did you choose to be?

I personally chose the Operator as I feel like they’re the ones with the more personal connection to the story and the Lotus.

I was actually surprised it gave you the option to continue as the Drifter as to me it felt as if the character was too new and too far removed from the past story to be as satisfying to beat Ballas with.

Curious for reasoning on both, but especially on anyones reasoning on choosing the Drifter. Also, was there anything specific to the interactions for the Drifter that you know of if you did choose them?
