Adjournments vs Quickplay Finishes

I am interested in the general feeling among this community about whether people generally prefer adjournments or quickplay finishes for games that start in the evening?

This is a topic that comes up every year at the AGM of our local league & I wonder what other people's experiences are on the subject - do you play adjournments, quickplay finishes or is adjudication even used? What is your personal preference?

Let me run down a brief the history of this, at least our local experience. 10 years ago when I moved to the area the standard time controls were 30 moves in 1hr 15min, followed by 24 in 1hr, followed by (if memory serves) 1hr to finish the game. The first 2 sessions were played at the 'home' team's venue and the final session at the 'away' team's venue. I only had one experience of playing to a 3rd session, which came down to a theoretical win or draw depending on what my opponent had sealed at the end of the 2nd session. Fortunately he'd made the natural-looking but wrong choice & I won the game.

A few years ago, it was decided that this was too protracted to play a single game over 3 separate nights, so the 3rd session was dropped. It then became 30 moved in 1hr 15min, then 24 in 1hr, then 15min to finish.

Since then, the possibility of a quickplay finish at the end of the first session has been introduced, but the rules have become slightly more complicated. Teams now opt at the start of the season whether they prefer adjournments or quickplay finishes. If 2 teams with a preference for quickplay finish play each other then the time control is 30 moves in 1hr 15min, then 15min to finish the game. Otherwise, the game is played under the conditions in the previous paragraph.

Interestingly, it's the top division teams where the majority opt for quickplay finishes, but in the lower divisions people tend to prefer adjournments.

Personally I prefer to get the game over with in one night, without the need to analyse the adjourned position thoroughly in the time before the resumption - and we all know that the first few moves that get played when you do resume have been worked out by a computer and not your opponent.

Tournaments don't suffer from quite the same problem as the games usually start early enough to finish in one session. The problem here is that the games start at 7.30pm, so a full length game would be impractical as it would go way into the night.

@MarkLeonard - There are arguments against it, but personally I think a single time control is pretty sensible.

This "worked out by computer" stuff bothers me, as someone who last played correspondence chess in the 1977 USCF Golden Knights (2116 rating) when no high-level home computer chess programs were available.  Next week, I'm going to play my first two 3 day/move games with Team Maryland in a tournament here and I won't use a computer except, since it's officially allowed, chess.com's explorer or opening books for the first 10-12 moves.

What feeling of accomplishment can you get when a computer wins a game for you?  I'm here to see how far I can progress, not how many databases or engines like Stockfish 8 I can harness to win.
