On bars 24" and up I personally love full skip. Why? Better chip flow, really aggressive when bucking and especially in softwoods. I know some may say more cutters means faster cutting, but it seems to bite really well. One big reason is faster sharpening times. A lot less teeth to hand file . Now on the flipside its not good for small stuff, limbing and bore cuts. It will very easily kick back. Although I do bore cut its a little tricky.That's just me though. I know many guys who like full comp right up to 36". Ive always liked full skip...
