I like the plugs for keeping them on a rack or something before I figure out where to put them or if I need to bring them somewhere. When I glue them to my rock I usually break the peg part of the plug off so that only the disk is left.
First choice is rubble though.

If I am just growing them out to sell - I go for the plugs and use egg crate racks.
If I am trying to make a nice looking reef tank, I do the rubble.

If I'm propagating... I use plugs -- for my display tank I prefer it on the live rock as I hate plugs in my tank -- no real good place to put them (or where I want).

IME people will go for the frag thats on rubble before the same frag on a plug unless its something they really want. thats definatly a generalization but I have parted with a frag or two and generally try to use rubble whenever possible because poeple seem to like it better as its more e4asily incorperated into the natural (yeah right) look of their tank. take corals and fish from 5 different oceans and put them in the same tank and its supposed to look natural, thats a hoot but I'm sure you underrstand what I'm saying.

hehe a little bitter? =)
by the way, do you still have your "natural" reef that you just toss frags randomly into? i remember you mentioning it. can you post a pic? i bet it looks awesome.
