Ambiguity in Holding Pattern Entry

Hi Friends,

With most approaches, the MAP is well defined. Occassionally however, the entry into the holding pattern is precisely at the border of either direct / parallel or parallel / teardrop entry.
Assuming ATC says nothing or gives you a generic instruction to hold, is the hold entry then at pilot's discretion?

e.g. at LFAQ (Albert) I would choose a parallel entry and at EBKT (Kortrijk) I would go for direct entry, but do I have that choice?

Any pointers at some AMC references would be welcome.

Thanks,

PP.
