I'm looking forward to the discussion on this as I am totally between and betwixt, and need some input as to the why-to!!
I do set my seams before pressing to one side or open. The purpose of doing this is that it embeds the stitches in the fabrics and your stitches are less likely to show when your block is pressed.
