Default Is your throttle stick smooth or ratcheted ?

How fine do you like your throttle control, and how good are your motor skills? Usually helicopter pilots use a smooth throttle, because the $*^@ hover setting always seems to be on a click. Because of that I've taken the ratchets off my throttle sticks. It makes it harder to use the rudder without changing the power.
