I have been doing flat bench press with my ring finger on the ring on the bar. My shoulders have been bothering me, so I moved in a 1/2 inch. Things are getting better since the change. I might move in a little closer still.

With Military Press, I have just recently moved my grip wider...pinky is a 1/4 inch from the rings. I seem to have better balance/form. Just personal preference.

The wider you go, the more stress on your shoulders. I personally wouldn't go as wide as you are on bench for that reason.
