Lots of variables to the loose/ruff dog thing-including age and experience. I have seven plotts, one Catahoula, and one dogo. If I want to go somewhere where there is a bunch of hogs and I want to catch a lot of hogs- I take my 11 year old cat gyp and my dogo. I'll being catching and tying hogs faster than I can keep up with. If I am going to a big section of land that has fewer hogs, I'll take the plotts and it may take a while, but I will end up with a hog or two. I have just as much fun with an all day race as I do catching a mess of hogs. Sometimes I prefer the race and will try to make the hog run intentionally just to keep a race going. With my plotts, they are going to try to catch most hogs. Two of the plotts are almost RCD type. My ruffest plott (Joe) is going to catch (or try) any hog that will stand for a second. So, I keep some ruff and some loose. I think of them as tools in my tool box. Sometimes I need a hammer, sometimes I need a screw driver. For me they key is they all work and they are all good tools for the purpose I intend.
