I have a 6" plate, never needed anything bigger, and always use standard dogs.

Subject: [atlas-craftsman IO] Faceplate & Dogs
I'm needing tooling for turning between centers and sparked a couple of questions.? My lathe is 12x24 101.07403
1)? Should I pay a little more and get the 8" faceplate instead of 6"
2) Do you guys like other methods other than using the typical lathe dogs or is the drive pin threaded in the faceplate a better setup?? what do you guys prefer?
Thanks,
Jody
