Tail hooks: when to dress, when to leave bare

Recently acquired an assortment of nice plumage, peacock feathers being my favorite as they hold their paddle shape around the "eye" in the water. I have been going a bit overboard dressing my siwash hooks... was wondering when a hook should be dressed, and when it should be left alone... I dont dress darters, but have put them on needles, redfins, metal lips... Im afraid I might kill the action on some...

SIDE THOUGHT: always wondered why sea grass trailing your lure means no fish, but a nice long black feather = fish...
