If you lean back it tends to hit more thickness than just width. If you do bent over rows you dont need to lean back. I find leaning back tends to make the lift more difficult.
I would take a grip that is not too wide and a grip that is not too narrow. Use the same grip if you want to get stronger.

I dont know if you read my other thread but this has helped me when I was younger. Try not to think of the pulling and think more of pushing your elbos down during the pulling part of the exercise. I dont know how this works but it does. Try it next time when you think about it.
A older guy told me about this 20 years ago and still is true to this day when I do them.

Recap:
use the same grip each time (not too narrow and not too wide)
think of pushing down on the elbos and not pulling up.
Warm up first on machine then go for a max reps on 2 sets
Then go back and finish up on machine or assisted machine.
Then go and do your thickining exercises (bent over rows, etc.)
