I used to bench like this and I screwed up my rotator cuff. Since I have learnt to tuck my elbows, my shoulder has been fine.
As far as I am concerned, the so called PL style is safer. If you want to get more chest activation, do some Dumbell benching or flies afterwards or simply stop just short of lockout and keep the muscles under constant tension.
