tighten up preflop to get more respect on flop cbets?

[donkeykong2]

Has anyone experienced this?, i think at least at the low limits this might have a bigger effect than it should have theoretically because people seem to give you much less respect if you raise a lot preflop.
Do you prefer the lag image or would you rather have a tag image to get more respect on you cbets? I d like the tag image more because i usually play laggy and it is pretty annoying to be so card dependend.
