Diffuse or Sharpen on hazy photos

When it comes to dehazing there are two obvious options in DT. One is the dehaze preset in diffuse or sharpen and the other in the dehaze module. In my screen shot here the diffuse or sharpen is the one on the left and the dehaze module is on the right. It is personal preference which you prefer, but I usually default to the dehaze module, set the strength between 20 - 40% and apply a gradient mask. Artistically speaking I feel haze is a natural part of landscapes and just because we can remove it I am not convinced we always should.
