This all day long. I use D/E greater than 75% of the time, regardless of what terminal I'm using. It's even better now that E and F are connected airside. F security sucks without a way to bypass the queue as elite or Precheck.

The only exception is when I know I'm coming back into A, then I'll park in A and clear security in A-East. If I need to go to F I'll take the shuttle, otherwise I will walk to my departure terminal.
