You're forced into a situation during the first part of fermenation. Would you rather face five under the low end of the yeasts preferable temp range or five over the high end?
Forced to choose - start high temp or low temp?

+1 plus the start lower....(Lower seems to slow fermentation but dosen't as far as I know have the effects of high temp issues.)

ALWAYS start low and warm towards the end.
Don't pay attention to the temp ranges provided by the manufactures. Those ranges are for yeast health and do not always provide the best flavors.
