Of course re-enactors should do a period they like.
Personally i like the Principate best, since the age of Constantine the traitor up to the end of the western Roman empire does not interest me that much.
Having said that of course there are other periods i like in history, from ancient Greek to modern day history... and especially Samurai Japan.
I think any re-enactor should do what he or she likes. The general audience who have a clue that late Roman is not the same as Principate are to be admired.
One problem is that some groups think its nice to display Principate Romans together with late Romans in the show for numbers sake. I am opposed to that.
