IB SMART routing and BATS rebates

I’m using limit orders to exit some stocks. I noticed SMART sometimes fills me on NYSE and sometimes on BATS. BATS has the biggest rebate of all. Would be more prudent for me to specifically demand BATS routing and give up on SMART?
As I understand Reg NMS prevents trading outside the best bid and ask so it would not hurt my liquidity but maybe there is a catch at BATS only routing

Thoughts?
