The design of Ŋ in high-contrast typefaces

I am interested in knowing your thoughts about the design of uppercase eng when it comes to high-contrast typefaces. I have found different approaches when using the uppercase N as the base character. In most typefaces the hook of the ‘Ŋ’ resembles that one in the ‘J’. Some of them use the thickness of the stem in ‘N’ (e.g. Le Jeune Text) and some others use the thickness of the stem in ‘J’ (e.g. Abril). I guess both of them are OK, as long as they are recognised by the reader. Which one would you say is more appropriate?
