According to the diesel guys, under ideal warm starting conditions the straight drive starters fire the engine little faster over gear reduction starter.
But when the engine is cold, especially in winter, the gear reduction starters turn an engine over faster and get them to fire up sooner.
I only run gear reduction starters if there is a choice.
