I prefer my open face.  I guess I'm willing to risk the damage to my jaw in
the name of vastly increasing my ability to see (which may well decrease my
chances of crashing and hurting by jaw)
What's the conventional biker wisdom on this?

None of the newer full face helmets restrict vision.  I like the Nolan with 
the flip up chin bar.  Helmet threads are like oil and Mac Vs PC threads.  
Everyone has an opinion and will be happy to share it with you.
