I have one bike on which I opted to try the "free as can be" method of just a few turns of the tape. I haven't really sensed any benefit, in fact I find the loosey-goosey housings distracting while moving hand positions. Both of my others have the housing running under tape along the flat of the ends of the bars and exiting when they begin their curve of the hooks. Haven't tried the full under method but if the routing necessary for Ergo shifters to run fully under the tape, it must be OK.
