My own personal preference: if it requires an anamorphic lens, use a taller aspect ratio. Artifacts from anamorphic lenses are really distracting.
The artifacts depend on the squeeze ratio and specific lens, but I generally only notice the barrel distortion and ellipse bokeh. Lens flares can be distracting, but they're generally only in a few shots of a normal film. JJ Abrams goes crazy with lens flares, and it is distracting and annoying, but old classics like Khartoum and Spartacus are good examples of anamorphic aiding the film rather than detracting from it.
It's mostly the bokeh for me, especially if they do some significant focus pulling. Then, object not only blur or sharpen but also change shape. Very distracting!
