Since I have only done quilts to use as blankets (baby blankets and larger) I prefer the 2.5 inches folded over. There have been a couple times I wasn't paying attention and cut it 2 inches and had to use it. My biggest concern was if it would hold since I generally use flannel on the back and want the wider finding.

It depends on the type of binding you are making. I normally hand-stitch to the back so I cut 2.25". But doing smaller quilt, 2" has a nice proportional look. I even cut my bug rugs binding 1.75".
