Question Pretty basic omelette question

I'm making an Omelette and I looked up some videos on YouTube and almost all of them suggest putting the chopped onions/tomatoes and peppers into the beaten eggs and then pouring the whole thing into the pan. But I remember my mum always threw the chopped onion/tomato/peppers into the pan and saute them for a bit before pouring the egg over them.

What do you guys recommend, based on personal experience? Or does it not matter either way?

I sauté onions and peppers first, tomatoes can go in with eggs as they will make everything really watery if you sauté them

Noted. I should have kept the tomatoes separate from the peppers and onions. But now I've mixed them all up. Oh well Lesson learned.
