I think that BLUF is definitely the better way of writing most informational pieces, particularly articles such as this.

It's a similar concept to the 'Topic Sentence' which would be used to sum up the ideas of the following paragraph.

The only reason I could see for actively choosing not to use BLUF - would be to force users to read more of your article for the sake of it, which seems (to me) like a 'cheap' tactic.
