Default Hyperfocal or Point in distance

my question is..
how many of you use the Hyperfocal technique, versus using the method of simply focusing on an object of interest in the distance.

from my basic knowlege of the Hyperfocal technique.. this is only useful up to particular print sizes as it allows for an "acceptable" focus.

the "point in the distance" method would generally be easier, BUT throw things in the foreground out of focus more than a hyperfocal focus would... but at least you get all print sizes available.

please correct my understanding if i'm wrong,
but,

which do you use and why?
