Your opinion. Target new windows or not?

I'm debating on what I should do with my posts. Both ways have pros and cons.

Targeting new windows:

Pros:
1. No waiting for the page to reload after pushing back. It is cached but still takes a couple of seconds to load. Which is annoying.

2. Your site is always open in a window.

3. If a visitor just came from a site that targets new windows, they may be in the habbit of it and close your site on accident. This won't happen if you target also.

Cons:

1. If the surfer has other windows open, the gallery may load into that window instead of a brand new one. Which sucks! (Is there a way to stop this?)




Which do you think is best and why? Can you think of other pros and cons? I'm sure a lot of you have debated this yourselves.
