Its a preference. Your going to get some opinion based responses. I will try and provide some unbiased facts here. I tried the 1/4 throttle. Didn't like it and put the stock one back on. Reason was in the whoops section, in rough trails etc.., I found myself giving the bike gas when I didn't want to and the bike felt dangerous. This could be remedied a bit by adding slack but that kinda defeats the purpose of 1/4 turn throttle in a way. Now, this is with a rather rippy 155 motor. I don't think the 1/4 turn throttle (for me anyway) provided any advantage at all over the stock one. Some of the billet stuff does look cooler. $ is better spent elsewhere IMHO.
