yup. generally more pros than cons with this simple piece of kit.
with digital it's so easy to to do a simple field test
for flare and and contrast.
In most cases I've seen increase in micro contrast when a hood is attached.
And yes. Compendium hoods and matte boxes with appropriate masks can be used
to great effect;
especially with tricky edge lighting.
