On wide open spaces, the throttle lock types are nice, but I have had a few "closer than I like" calls in an emergency situation with them. I got the palm rest type. It's not great for fine tuning when just resting your hand on it, but it does give you a chance to relaxe your hands every few minutes. My first good ride on my XJ lasted about 14 hours and was before the palm rest. I had held that &^$# throttle with my pinky, wrist, back of my hand... I was miserable by the end of the evening.
I will agree that anything you use that gives your hand a break, makes the ride that more enjoyable.

I'd be lost without it.

If you really want relief on the slab, install an Audiovox cruise control. It is designed for cars, but works great on bikes. I know lots of riders that have installed em and love em. It uses a keypad with on/off and set and resume just like you are used to on a car. Touch either brake or the clutch, and it disengages. I would not do distance riding without it anymore!
I also have a vista cruise throttle holder for short term relief, but it will not hold a specific speed for more than a few seconds. I use them both for different circumstances.

I vote for the palm rest type as well. I also try to avoid the Slab, I get pretty bored with it. I love the old US highways. My goal is to ride from one end of the states to the other avoiding the slab.

Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of the slab either. But often I want to get from point A to point B in the most efficient manner because point B is where I am going to ride some nice roads or scenery. If you are going to burn down 1000 miles in a day, the slab is the only place you will be able to do it.

Denny said it best. A must for any long distance cruising.
