Digital BW, The Print

I always sign my prints, but then I cut an overmat with opening 
slightly smaller than the printed image.  I also sign the mat.

But I see other photographers signing and numbering just the print, 
and cutting an overmat with a larger opening so that the signature on 
the print shows.  Also, there's a bit of space showing around the 
rest of the print.

I'm told that galleries prefer this, although visually I tend to 
prefer seeing the mat opening right against the edges of the print 
(with perhaps 1/16" of the print hidden).

So ... before matting and framing for three shows, I'm asking here 
... what do you do, and why?
