This is such a personal thing it has to be your own choice.

Personally I wear an open face helmet, but then I'm harnessed into a closed, airbag-equipped car.

In a different situation I'd probably go full face I think.

Never had experience of open-face but I find full face perfectly fine. You can see everyhthing you need to with perhaps the advantage of it framing the view ahead. Each to their own, though if you run an open top or roofless car, id definatly recommend the full-face. Plus it`ll come in handy if you want to passenger in someone elses open top motor.
