Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I press to one side, usually the darker unless there is a particular reason to press open. I like that there is fabric beneath the seam, not just batting. I hand quilt so quilt stitches are not as tight as with a machine. Right now I am making all my quilts to be heirloom. Once I get everybody covered, then who knows. I will probably do what ever is quickest.

I prefer to press the seams to one side - for me it is easier to match seams. That being said, when I have problems getting a seam to lay to one side or a seam is too bulky, I opt clipping the fabric and opening the seam. I've gotten to the point that it doesn't bother me one bit. I'm the only one who knows and I'll never tell.
Well, you better watch out that the Quilt Police don't show up at your door ! LOL...I usually press open also because I do mostly hand quilting
