Ok before you get angry at me, I know what a powerchord is and i've used them heaps.

My question is when you're holding a powerchord like

3
3
1

which fingers do you find best? I used to use my index for the root note and my pinky and ring finger to hit the complementary notes underneat, however recently i've looked into it and somebody suggested barring the notes with my index and pinky finger (kinda like the metal sign! !..!).

what works best? I find the index and pinky finger technique seems to be more accurate however it's hurting my wrist a bit because barring strings puts stress on my wrist a bit.
