If it is not needed for a larger framed person, and the above provisios are absent; I am hard pressed to find a reason to carry 2 extra feet of hose on every dive that one will never need. Particularily when some of the same people who would recommend stuffing 2' of hose would also recommend cutting the knobs off of BC dump valves or removing the little mouth guard thingy on the BC oral inflator because they are unneccisary hinderances. They might also complain about large capacity wings because the extra volume of gas in unneccisary.
It may be possible to highly optimize a rig for technical diving and also dive that same rig in simple recreational settings but it doesn't follow that the same rig would be "optimized" for recreational diving. There are applications that become sub optimal when the setting changes. It happens when we move up the commitment ladder and when we move down.
If you are only considering the longhose for it's primary donation/bungiied secondary value in an OW setting, and not because you need to swim single file through a restriction, buy the hose that routes best for you and that does not present extra length that needs to be continuously and uselessly "managed".
