Personally, I prefer set-piece battles during invasions. It gives me more
 control over troop and character placement, battle spells used, etc. I've
 never really found a use for Open Field battles.
 Raids are nearly worthless except as scouting missions (expensive ones at
 that) or to generally harass another player.  Raids on peace years turns
 are good, since they do alot of damage to the province being raided. As far
 as what battle type I prefer for raids, dispersal if I don't want to fight
 and set-piece if I do (as long as I have a character along).

Just my 2 cents,
 Erik
