What format is preferable?

Does it matter, and why?
Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for this response. The only qualm I have is that my "www" results are the true current pages. Without the "www" Google results sometimes serve cached pages which are identical but may contain obsolete meta info. I figured there may be some value in having all links lead to pages which have the current and true, non-cached meta info. So in my current redirects I've included "www" based on that observation, unless you disagree. I'd be interested to hear other perspectives from the forum.
And yes, I read the same thing about https last spring. Apparently it does matter, even though it doesn't matter if the site owner, like me, has a cloud proxy firewall in place. My firewall doesn't use the https prefix, but I am considering upgrading to it, for best SEO/SERP.

So in my case it would be?
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^javelincommunications.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.javelincommunications.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I have read about this trick but never tried implementing it. Is there anything that can go wrong, any downsides?
Thanks for the thoughtful tip.
