Thoughts on Subwoofer set-up?

I'm considering getting my first sub woofer for my 2channel system. In doing my research I see there are two schools of thought on how to properly integrate a sub into your system: (1) Allow your speakers to run full-range and use the sub to augment the sound; (2) Allow the sub to take over the speaker's low frequency duties via crossover settings. I realize that in both methods proper placement and room equalization is critcal. Assuming placement and room issues are resolved, which integration method usually delivers the more satisfying musical experience?

I found letting the speaker do as much as possible and the sub do as least as possible is a much better sound.
The sub wont sound as good as the speaker in most cases.
So keeping it to a minimum is better in most cases.
Mt10425 is correct, you have to try it both ways and let the voices in you head tell you which one to live with.
Unfortunatly, my voices never shut up.
