Open, because I run extended studs. I haven't had any problems with my stud threads getting messed up and I RallyX my car a lot.
I also prefer lugs that don't use some weird key I have to keep track of and don't lock into my cordless impact gun. I don't DD my Evo, it just sits in the garage between events, so theft isn't a problem. I also prefer steel for durability.
Right now I have Kyokugen lugs, which are short, steel, very light, have withstood the abuse of a couple years of RallyX, but have that stupid 7-sided design so I have a key to deal with. I wish they made a 6-sided lug so I could just use a standard metric impact socket.

One of the best are the Kics

They are a chromoly alloy, super strong AND light weight. They also have a rotating collar that helps them be more consistent when torquing them down. . .
I've been using the same set on my AX cars for 3 years, with probably a hundred off-on torque cycles with no problems ever. . .

McGard Spline Drive lug nuts have worked really well for me. They are shorter, closed-end, have a rotating collar, are outer-spline driven (hence the name hehe), and lightweight. Can be had for around $70-$80. I've ordered 3 sets from Summit Racing for different applications. They also come in anodized end versions if you are into bling (non-anodized are the same, just not colored). They do require you keep the spline key in your car to use the lugs.

We just developed a super durable Aluminum lug nut that is an open ended design. Tougher than the other aluminum designs so it won't gaul and strip.
