i lead with a front leg kick and follow up with hand techniques, and save the rear leg kick until im done with the hands and kick towards the head.

"Theres no point, you kicked him in the butthole." comment made during a sparring match.

we have always kicked off our back leg. Dont get me wrong we kick off the front leg too and i feel they are much faster. I agree with what brian said the side kick from the back leg is quite slow to get going and i cant get an awful lot of power from it.

I know what you mean about the back leg side kick, Kez. I can get good power on it, but it is much slower. However, the spin back kick is much faster, and a lot more powerful.
