The short answer: it depends.
The long answer: well, you may still get a higher ROI if you stick to the standard 50/50 rewards model.
Suppose you're getting 10 STU (Standard Token Units) as author share from a post, after we already deducted the 25% for curation (for simplicity).
From that, you get 5 SBD, as the first 50%.
Then you get 5 STU / $5.8 (the current price of STEEM) = 0.86 Steem Power.
Now, if you sell your SBD, you can still get 5 / 1.002= 4.9 STEEM, that you can power up as Steem Power.
Total: 4.9 + 0.86= 5.76 Steem Power.
If you're choosing rewards 100% Steem Power, you get 10 STU / $5.8 = 1.72 Steem Power.
As long as SBD trades above $1 SBD, you will get a better deal at gathering STEEM if you choose your rewards 50/50.
