I've been working on my swing with the assistant pros at my club who usually gives me some quick tips. One of them told me to straighten my right arm (maybe slightly bent) at address. If you should let your arms hang down naturally you should get this.
Recently my friend got a lesson from another pro and he was told to tuck his right arm in at address.

What would most people think the right way is?

It is no suprise to find two different pro's teaching two different things as there is no such thing as the perfect swing, although this may come down to interpretation, could it be that your right arm was to bent and your mates arm was forced poker straight. I think the arms need to be relaxed and not forced and as long as the ball position and posture are good and you have room to swing, how bent your arms are should'nt be to much of an issue.
