Good luck, I'm sure this will be a good discussion!
Edit 2:
I love borders, I feel they are important. I will do edge-to-edge quilts on occasion, but my first quilt book was the Ruby McKim book (from the Kansas City Star patterns) and she had this line about borders something like -- if you have a bull in a pasture, do you want the fence stronger than the bull or the other way around?
One of the things I really like to do is bring my design into the border typically using partial blocks. I used to think that a 6" border was "strong enough" for a bed sized quilt but have moved that up to 8" or more.
