Any minor pentatonic scale is not going to be the best fit for a major “tune feel” starting on the same root. That is simply because the major pentatonic scale starting on A is going to have C sharp, and the minor pentatonic scale is going to have C natural.

That said, although most peoples’ ears will tolerate that mismatch, but it is going to have the feel of cramming a blues feel over a sing-songy feel, and will sound amareurish. In my opinion.
