Do you guys like the staggered look or regular?

I like the way the Saleen style look. I like staggered also. Just my opinion.

Wheel gap will still be an issue with 20s, I promise. Cats (meow) can stack up on each other and nap comfortably in that gap.

I'll always have 20s on my Mustangs moving forward (unless Track'd), but WILL ALWAYS slam the ride prior.

case in point - this is exagerated by the decline I am parked on

20s with appropriate sized tires WITHOUT lowering first, lol.

I like staggered... but I also have 18x9s front and 19x10s rear.

The 4x4 look is more exaggerated when the rim size increases. This is because the tire sidewall is getting thinner while the tire/fender gap remains the same (assuming same diameter tires). As long as you keep the sidewall height 2x greater than the tire/fender gap, you will be OK IMO.

Hasn't anybody noticed that Mustangs that came with 17" wheels don't have the 4x4 look? It's because the factory 235/55/17 has a sidewall height of 5.1" with a 2.25" rear tire/fender gap. But when someone puts a 255/35/20 on a 20" wheel you get a sidewall height of 3.5" with a tire/fender gap of 2.35" <--- has the 4x4 look on OEM springs (must lower IMO).
