Either. I like fixed so I always know the IP address of the RBR in AP mode. I use 192.168.#.50 for mine when it's in AP mode. 

IP needs to be outside of the host routers IP addess pool, so the main host router should be set for 192.168.#.100 to .200. Then you can use static IPs on any device on either side of this pool.
