I am a fan of tearing. It is so frustrating to try to cut strip sets and get that wonky wave , because the fabrics are lined up on the straight. So many times I have had to straighten the grain to avoid getting the wonky wave , and loose way more than if the shop had been tearing from the bolt.
As a quilter who does alot of strip cutting , having the fabric on grain right from the start , is important.
