I'm much more a fan of using justified text with a minimal amount of hyphenation and word-splitting used only for really long words to prevent jarringly large spaces between words. Justification in general looks and reads fantastically well, but I agree that a lot of hyphenation and word-splitting makes it worse in both cases than a ragged right edge.
