What’s your preference of grammar?
All of a sudden or suddenly. Leaning back on old camp counsellor story telling, I think all of a sudden would be better for building tension whereas a quick, staccato **suddenly! **acts like a verbal bang or jump start, if that makes any sense.
I like that, suddenly is sudden to the listener, all of a sudden is surprising to the story’s characters, and makes the listener anticipate that surprise without being able to warn them about it
