Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I do not feel comfortable recommending either of those options at this time. I suggest that you run some analyses with one option. Then repeat with the other option and see whether the results are different. Select the option which gives more conservative results, that is, coefficients that are closer to zero and less significant. Please stay tuned because I hope we can come up with some better defaults soon.
