I find that the most important thing in both well-supported prone or bench positions, as well as standing or runnin' and gunnin' is the ability to maintain a solid sight picture as the gun recoils, and to recover on that sight picture the fastest if we are talking about any chance of a good follow-up shot within a short amount of time. This is especially true with the AR, which seems to like getting muscled, without muscling off target...not easy to do.
I'm really muscling the gun hard to get it to hold within a 6" plate at 7yds in this example:

The positioning of my torso leaning forward is more important than where the butt is actually placed, and I tend to push that butt placement a little closer to the center of my chest from the traditional pectoral-bicep junction in a CQM stance, since getting the gun to move to my head is more important than moving my head to the gun. Try walking around with your head canted to the side, especially in a room with rapid muzzle blasts discharging, and you will look like a drunk.
