I like the bare bulb approach for it's ability to diffuse the direction of
the light, etc.
Additional thoughts:
(1) Bare bulb in a large bowl reflector is the closest you can get to the
"look" created by flashbulbs. Without light modifiers, it's still bright,
direct flash, but the bowl reflector gives it a larger source area which
knocks the edge off it some. It can be subtle, but there is a difference
between flash from flashbulbs fired in bowl reflectors, and a traditional
electronic with the small tube and reflector.
(2) Remember that the benefits of bounce requires that there be something
reasonably close to bounce the light back. Churches, cathedrals and
synogogues tend to be cavernous places and not that much light bounces
back. Same applies to most reception halls I've been in.
