I'm very inexperienced, but I do remember reading in one of the quilting books I've read that seams pressed open are not as strong as seams pressed to one side. Just something to factor into your decision.
I don't know if I buy this. Seams for clothing have been pressed open for years. These seams can get a lot of 'abuse', certainly not as much as a quilt. I sometimes press mine open and sometimes to the side. Not sure why I'm so inconsistent!
