I use the three fingers for arpeggios. This post was meant to be directed to finger style guitarists who might be interested in adopting some classical techniques so my advice to use alternation starting with either finger was just to get people to free themselves from their hands' physical habits. I only use rest stroke for playing scales unless it gets in the way but my training is based on flamenco technique. I have to admit I found adapting my technique surprisingly difficult when I started learning classical pieces so I'll have to be more careful of how I advise people. Thanks for bringing my recklessness to my attention. When I use rest stroke I’m only using the first and second fingers. I use the three fingers for arpeggios.

Beginning scale technique should also include work to teach students about "good" and "bad" string crossings. There's more to it than strict alternation. I would not use rest stroke either.
