It Depends on the timing and duration of the barking when you are talking about open-mouth. Barking Before they see a hog I dont like.  Barking after a hog breaks bay is ok and helps you figgure out which way the hog went after he broke bay.....as long as they shut up soon enough.  I've hunted with both but prefer dogs leaning toward the silent side.
