It depends on your list. I generally prefer List,Respect because most of
my list subscribers don't have Reply-Tos in their mailer, and I use one
in my messages when I want replies directed to me.

A rather large LISTSERV list that I'm subscribed to (which is all
discussion, and very rarely warrents individual replies) uses
List,Respect, but a large number of the subscribers have implicit
Reply-Tos in their messages. I have to manually fix it on over half of my
responses to the list. That's obnoxious.

As with most things, each list owner should evaluate the needs and
practices of their subscribers and do accordingly.
