I do both, but lean heavily toward the "full text."  I use two
VERY small snippets in an 8 page ezine.  Everything else
is "full."  (well occassionally I also use a snippet from a
short story) I do get hits to those pages at my website when
I run the snippets, but it's certainly not anywhere near
3600+ (which is my subscriber base).

I basically only do it as a courtesy for my regular
columnists at the website and to show "what's new."
I think readers probably prefer "full" articles.  At least, I know
I do.  I rarely click through to a site from an ezine to finish
an article.
