Auditions/Ornamentation

If you were to be one the panel behind the screen at an audition, would you prefer to hear Mozart as straightforward as possible, or with ornamentation?

There are several recordings out there with and without them. Marcellus certainly didn't, Frost has a single ornamentation from my recollection, and other recordings may or may not have them.

Personally, I feel as though the panel wants to hear your musicianship above all else (and good rhythm), and I'm curious if you think ornamentation might make a person stick out in either a positive or negative way. What has been your experience?
