 A CFI I had lunch with last week suggested I should always do full stop taxi 
 backs instead of touch and goes when practicing landings.  I've frequently 
 done touch and goes for about an hour when I wanted to do some quick flying, 
 but I tried his suggestion.  I also ran into an old AOPA Flight Training 
 magazine that had an article suggesting full stop taxi backs instead of 
 touch and goes. I generally keep the pattern in tight and can do ten touch 
 and goes in about .8 or .9 Hobbs depending on the amount of other traffic. I 
 prefer towered airports for this practice, because there is another set of 
 eyes looking for aircraft. 
 
 Should I force myself to always do full stop taxi backs, even thought other 
 pilots and tower personnel seem to prefer that I do touch and goes?  Kevin

No.  I'm curious though, what is the rationale given for avoiding T&Gs?
