Hedging vs One-Way Trading: What's Better?

This isn't really for newbies, more for those who've been in the game for a while. I tried using hedge mode when I first started, but it was a nightmare. Ended up paying more in fees and still lost cash. Then I figured out that just closing a trade saved me a ton of headaches. So now, I keep it set to hedge mode, but I actually trade like I'm in one-way mode. Does anyone think hedge mode should even exist? Or is it just a cash grab for exchanges? What about you guys? Are you hedging your trades or sticking to one-way?
