I can say that a lot of people don't prefer the hooking punches (unless you've got an attachment) because they leave you vulnerable to getting shot on for one thing.
They are also less accurate, and if you hit someone's noggin, you could break your hand. Straight punches are more accurate. If you hit the (relatively) soft tissue of the nose area, you're not as likely to break the bones. Of course, you do run the risk of hitting your opponent's teeth (in which case you should definitely seek treatment of the wound pronto).
However, if you're too worried about breaking your hand, hitting someone's teeth or anything else, you probably would do better than to get in fights in first place!
