This have been debated over and over. I think in the end the answer 
is... whatever fits your needs best. Be it available parts or carefull 
A/B testing of "look and feel".

Arguments can be made for both approaches, but I think in the end the 
application and control-feel is what settles it.

Sorry for the useless answer.
