Would you accept an 'it depends' answer?

I prefer
- full justification for current fiction which tends not to have frequent long words
- probably left aligned for 18th or 19th century fiction with many repeated long words, and for current non-fiction with long technical words
- definitely left aligned sections in any genre which has a bibliography, references, or footnotes - that is, justified in text, left aligned in bibliography etc.
- and as Harry points out definitely left aligned for poetry.

For what it is worth I do not like being forced into an either/or response.
