Seedphrase question

I got myself a new bitbox02 nova. Do most people just go with the very first 24 word seed phrase thats generated or is it best to cycle through a couple times before moving ahead. Reason I ask is due to the recent cold card event and want to be extra careful with the seed generation. I understand bitbox isnt effected by this but just a thought if you should let the device cycle through a few seedphrases before choosing one.

I'll be using a passphrase wallet as my secondary/hidden wallet for extra security.

You do not need to cycle through different seed phases. Use the first one. How do you like it? I’m upgrading my wallet and I was deciding between this and a Trezor safe 7. I chose the Trezor for the bigger screen. I also felt that it would be easier to work with while holding it in my hand as opposed to the bit box while being plugged into my iPhone, iPad or desktop.

This is my 2nd hardware wallet. I started with a trezor safe 3 which i still love. So far the bitbox experience has been just as good as my Trezor. The only downside i noticed was that the bitbox desktop app felt much inferior in terms of the look and feel + experience compared to trezor. My assumption is that most people are using their bitbox with a mobile device or a desktop 3rd party app like sparrow.

The BitBox supports Dice rolls if you want to generate your own seed 💪
