Maybe being a Virgo makes me a little too keen for order, but in my mind, it's best if all the bars on the screen actually represent the same amount of time.

If one uses the 60 minute bars on the SP, then one would have 6 bars of 60 minutes and the last bar of the day would only contain 45 minutes of data, sort of like comparing apples to oranges, in my opinion. For stocks, since they trade for 390 minutes, I look at the 65M chart for the bigger intraday timeframe, since it is divisible into the length of the trading day.
