As a newbie, is it better to be Alone or in a Group?

If you’re new to a club (once you’re a recognized regular this no longer applies) is it better to visit alone or in a group? In which case is a dancer more likely to sit down and spend some time with you? My experience has been that groups of men, even if they were sitting back and rarely tipping the stage, would have at least one dancer sitting with them, while individuals tended to have to sit alone. I just figured that this made sense just as a practical business matter – sit down and try to work the entire table. However, I recently had a conversation with a dancer who told me that guys who were alone made for better prospects simply because they did not have anyone else to monitor their spending. So which is it? With all else being equal, do dancers prefer to sit down with a group, or with a guy who is alone?
