I might use my ring finger depending in where I am coming from or going to. I can't get the 1st string to ring with that one usually.
Then I might use middle,ring,pinkie or even ring, middle, pinkie (think maj7 shape).
So all of them but badly.
For open A I usually barre with index finger, although if I need to let all 5 strings ring out I use fingers 1,2,3 (but almost never 2,3,4)
Bandcamp
Spotify, Apple et al
Barre chord - 3 which I can get to stay out of the way of the high E.
My feedback thread is here.
I could probably squeeze 2, 3 and 4 in there if it was essential, but I haven't needed to yet.
Each fingering has its purpose. I tend to use fingers 2, 3 & 4 rather than 1, 2 & 3 in the open position, partly because my fingers fit better, and party because I can then barre the shape further up the neck without thinking.
Often when playing the A shape in other positions as a passing chord I'll just use one finger to barre the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings, and mute the others. If I want the sound to ring out I'll use finger tips and add vibrato.
I prefer 002255 because then top A sounds less shrill and out on its own.
Never got it to sound right with my ring finger.
It took a few months to make the change but I find there's less tension in fretting hand and it frees the Ring finger to move faster into fretting little single note runs/bends.
