I have never hunted behind good open dogs or even a dog that was what I would call open on track so I can't knock it.  I do feel in the back of my mind that constant pressure from open dogs would make the hogs a little more jumpy and more apt to take flight but that is just my opnion and probably not factual.  As long as you like what your using I think that is the most important thing.  I would like to hunt behind a pack of hounds one day though and see how it sounds to listen to the race and then get the hog stopped and bayed etc.  I personally like knowing that when I hear a bark the dogs have the hog stopped but I could see where it would be cool listening to a dog start a track and then listening to it "heat up" before the hog is stopped and bayed.  Just like everything else I suppose there are good open dogs that produce like clock work and then there are those that just make a lot of noise, look forward to trying it one day.
