N400 Filing Choice Question

I came to the US on a Fiancé' Visa.
We have been married since 2000
My green card is dated 6/2001 (LPR nearly 10 years)
I know I can file for citizenship based on being married and the 3 year rule.
Is there any reason I can't file the N400 using the 5 year rule?
It seems like less supporting paperwork.

thanks
 
The 5 year rule is almost always the preferred option if you are eligible for both ... use it unless you have a travel or a moral character issue between 3 and 5 years ago and would like to use the 3 year option to keep the travel or offense outside the statutory period.
 
No I have nothing like that, I wasn't sure if I was 'locked' in to using the 3 year by marriage as that is the way I came here and of course the Affidavit of Support is valid for 10 years from entry.
