Makes sense. But in text

Makes sense. But in text with short words, the opportunity might exist for achieving well-spaced, barely hyphenated justified blocks of text, which when done well can be things of beauty.

On rags and writing styles

When deciding whether to rag or justify text, how many of you take writing style into account? I’ve found that ragged text can be great for work without a lot of long words, but writing that features longer words can be a real beast to rag well, even with the occasional hyphen. Conversely I find that anything with a lot of proper nouns is a pain to justify because they cannot (usually) be hyphenated. Am I on the right track here?
