I've been watching the group for a long time, and there is a huge debate

It really does depend on what you want to use your table for, what hardware

For me, I also have mainly numerical data, and 1-

That's why restorable backups, tst and dev environments are so so important.
And yes, this kind of thing has kept me (and many others) busy more than once
after a too speedily executed SQL statement.
