Both fine. I think, 丁度 seems a little old and formal. It tends to be used in books, especially they were written some time, say 30 years or more years, ago.
But again, you can use 丁度 if you like and acceptable even now.

丁度 is an old-fashioned style word, so you would see it in old Japanese books. It isn't necessarily difficult. You can use it if you prefer kanji to kana.
