Thank you soooo much for doing this video. I am a ballroom and west coast swing pro that is sort of new to Argentine tango and it gets exhausting when people say there is only one way to do something in a particular dance style! Very good explanation of the walks. It clears up a lot of my questions
I danced West Coast Swing for approximately 28 years I've been into Argentine Tango full-blast for The Last 5 Years. I was using a toe lead but now use a healing as I find it a bit more stable. I still go out dancing West Coast Swing every now and then.
Very nice overview of walking styles. Thank you! Honestly I am not sure what # I use 😜 #1 or #3 .. or combination. I will check .. But definitely not #2
there is no problem using either heel first or toe first. You can walk however you feel in the moment. You don't have to choose a style of walking and you don't ever have to do something that others are doing to justify the way you dance.
I like to use 3. By landing on the heel, you get a longer stride as the rock forward carries you further. Landing on the toes actually carries you backwards. However, landing on the toes gives a more controlled step like a soft brake, often useful and the only option if the follower doesn't project well and a powerful stride would push her over. Just my observations.

BTW, many dancers .. even Masters use “heel first” What do you think about this?

I like to vary between various styles depending on the music.
