Default Template or strip piecing?

I am currently working on a modified Broken Star that has a mariner compass in the center. Currently I am using the templates provided for the pattern for the center blocks. However once I get to the traditional "lone star" blocks I know I can easily strip piece them. I want to be very consistent for the entirety of the quilt and I've become very comfortable with the template cutting. On the flip side I've never constructed a star before let alone one through strip piecing and I don't know if my accuracy will be as good that way.

If you were in my situation would you just do template throughout the whole quilt or switch to strip piecing for the part you can?

I should mention I care a lot more about accuracy and the final product than being fast...although being both wouldn't be bad.

Thanks,
Yael
