With all respect, you would have as good an answer to your first question as anyone else. Maybe a better one. The one difference I have found in my limited experimentation with open-tipped facings (I usually play on mouthpieces that would be considered close-tipped) is that they tend to be more flexible in their pitch. But I haven't tried that many open mouthpieces. The problem with trying to answer your question in any kind of definitive way is that there are more parameters to consider than just the facings. If you've played in both worlds, you know for yourself how the various mouthpieces you've used felt.
As to your second question, I think most of us would probably recommend the kind of facing we play on, which probably isn't especially clarifying. We've either made our own choices based on experience or (more likely) because our teachers early in our formative lives guided us to one of the other facing style (or something in the middle) and we've just gotten used to whatever we've always used since then.
What do *you* find to be the differences?
