It really depends on your plyometric ability, some people can get higher of a jumpstop because they are two legged jumpers with a better strength base, while others can get higher of one leg from a run up because they have stronger plyometric ability.

Whether you are going of one leg or two, you should most probably get at least a few extra inches by running which gets more speed and therefore more to be converted into the vertical jump.

You should just go out there and try it for yourself, as suggested in my first post.
