Re: Over the bump or under the tower
Do a cost/benefit analysis of going over the bump vs. going under the tower. Having a clear and objective reason to pursue one or the other, balanced with your team's resources and abilities, will help your team decide on a system that matches your overall design.
Having said that, and having done that with our team, we're bumping, and according to the poll it looks like most others are as well.
However, don't base your decisions on what is most popular. As JVN said (paraphrased), the cool factor doesn't win competitions.
