I'd rather open the chokes for the purposes for which I'm most often going to use the gun. For example, if you shoot skeet and maybe SC, full isn't of any more value than it is for most upland hunting. And if you shoot a lot, spreaders either get expensive or they become a PITA to reload in bulk. But they're certainly a good choice if you have a tight-choked gun you want to use for something like occasional grouse and woodcock, but don't shoot the gun much otherwise at typical upland ranges (inside 30 yards).
