IMHO, the fourth valve on the side is the best way to go. My small finger does not work that well by itself, so having the 4th valve on the side works the best for me. When I hold my right hand out and move my little finger, my ring finger moves the same amount. This would give me grief when trying to play I'm sure.

It didn't take me that long to get used to using my left hand for the fourth valve. I got some music that used that fingering quite a bit and played it often for the first month. I bought Leroy Anderson's "Trumpeter's Lullaby" which was fairly fast and was a good excercise for that.
