To be honest, I only have one 1/4 wedge (the Otto Hess razor that Randy sold) and I like it very much, but to answer your question, I prefer my full wedge razors to my 1/4 hollow and the several 1/2 hollows I own.
I think a full wedge shaves a little differently than even a 1/4 wedge, but that's obviously subjective.
The one thing with the full wedges - especially the heavier ones - is that they are very stiff and I find that I get the best results with a light touch - otherwise wedge burn can become a problem.
This being said, I have lots of full hollows that I really like as well 7/8 Fridour, 7/8 Wacker/Bartman (I actually like mine!), 6/8 TI Sheffield Steel - however, with the exception of the TI, I tend to prefer full hollows that are on the stiff side. I have some flexier blades as well, but seem to gravitate to full hollows over 6/8 and heavier grinds.
