Would like to know what you guys prefer and why.  The HU seems to have more precise control and you can change the slope as well.  If using the HU crossovers, should the amp be set to full?

ONLY use 1 crossover.  So yes full.

Outside of an amp with a digital processor I would NEVER use an amp for running active.  If that was my only choice I'd build passives and call it a day.  Make sure if you go the headunit route though that you get one with the capability to bandpass the mid.

Personally, my amplifiers do one thing and one thing only ...

The HU is always a good place to spend the extra money to get those needed features. :)

I wish they were all this way.  Pure gain block with a big sink and some damn fins!

Exactly.  Gain block is ideal.  Processing at your fingertips, not on the amp.
