Which playthrough will you use for DLC?

I was just wondering if anyone plans to punish themselves with an NG+ or higher playthrough of new content, rather than just loading up a first-playthrough character? I honestly can't decide. I've got an NG++++ mage that I really like, but wonder if I need a warm-up round first on a lower level toon. What's everyone planning?

New Game + for me, to increase the chances of getting Gravelord Black Phantoms in the new areas I'm also running an SL40 into the new content though, so I can come back to Anor Londo etc and give people a sneak peek of what is ahead of them

NOW!

I'm doing it on NG + because I've done everything I need to in the playthrough. All I would have to do is kill the golem in the Archives and go back to the lake where the hydra was.

I also have a NG I've been working on. I just beat Qualaag.. but I still have a little while to get to Anor Londo. So by tonight I'll probably just start it on my NG+. It shouldn't be too hard because my NG + character is leveled pretty high at SL 122 with 41 vitality, 43 endurance, and 41 strength. I also have the Greatshield of Artorias.. which is a beast and can block most attacks.

I'll do it on NG+10. I might try going naked with only a broadsword. At least for the boss battles. Won't probably end well...

Probably NG++, as my main is at that at the moment. Though i'll go with NG right afterwards.

I'm gonna go at it on regular NG, since none of my characters have NG+, and then I'm gonna run through it again on NG+. On Sl 100. Good fun..

NG++ SL120 since it's my main. But I got SL100 ready for Arena which will immediately follow ;-)

My NG+7 toon.
