Apply Eight Mansion Feng Shui or Bazi Elements?

[myfs_106913]

Dear Master Lee, whenwe are looking for a new house, apart fromchoosing a house with the appropriate shapes and forms,should wethen go for the favourable house-facingdirection according to :

1) Eight Mansions Feng Shui - in this case, myself, my husband and my daughter all belong to the "West" group, so should we go look for a West-facing (or South-west or North-west facing) house?

2) Bazi Elements - in this case, my favourable element is Earth which is NE or SW direction, but my husband and daughter both have favourable element in Water, which is N direction. Water is my unfavourable element, so if we go by Bazi when choosing a house-facing direction, wouldn't we clash? Besides, I also heard you say in another forum reply that the house direction should favour the elements of the main breadwinner of the family, which is my husband in this case. How should we go about harmonising the interior decorations of the house according to our favourable elements, if our favourable elements clash?

I'm not sure at all whether we should follow Eight Mansions Feng Shui or the Bazi elements when looking for a favourable house direction. Hope you will clarify it for me.
