Hi 👋 to clarify, this is regarding creating a Subscription rather than updating it?
Which one we would recommend would depend on your flow and what you need to happen. The different values for payment_behavior and the behavior they cause is outlined in our API ref:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_behavior
With the flow shown in that guide, you use default_incomplete becase the Subscription is being created on the server but you're going to confirm/process the payment from client-side code. So you use default_incomplete to avoid the Subscription trying to automatically process the first payment.

Hey Toby, yes in regards to creating a subscription, ok thanks for clarifying that's good to know. Is confirming on client side the recommended way?

It's fine unless you have a need for server-side confirmation, so it depends on your business requirements.
