I like to be able to get mine off with a hand lug wrench. I also make sure that my mom or GF can get them off if they have to, without bouncing up and down on the lug wrench.
It's all a matter of oppinion. I've had no problems with mine in the last 10 years. (rotors or wheels coming loose.)

Just make sure you have lifetime warranty on the ratchet. I've seen more than one come in to the store I worked at with stripped gears because of that reason. Also, sockets are not meant to take that kind of torque, so use an impact socket if you do that. I've also seen more than one split socket come back.
If you have a lifetime warranty, go at it.
