Precoat or not?- A survey

What is the LATEST on this hot topic. I'm almost ready to start glassing my Expedition. Do I precoat the wood or wetout glass over bare wood. There seems to be good arguments for both methods. On earlier boats, I precoated with no problems. I find it interesting the on again, off again of this subject. It seems those that used to precoat, now don't and those that didn't, now do. Throughly confused!!
