Depends upon the orchestra in which you're playing. European orchestras tune to a different A from American ones, which affects the overall tone quality. Baroque chamber groups tune to a lower A.
Interesting concept to consider, but I used the 440 concert A since it's one that most people have heard about.
OP Didn't realise that American pitch was different to European! How complicated!
The choir I sing with is a Baroque Chamber Choir, so we always sing at Baroque pitch. Our accompanist is a complete genius and mentally transposes it as he goes along which is great, but it does mean you get a bit of a shock when you practise at home in normal pitch and go to hit a top A!!
