We do minimum till. I would love to no-till but since we have to keep the other tools regardless it is something I can not swing financially. The biggest drawback on no-till for us is the soil can be extremely heavy in areas. This means in a wet spring (such as this one) the ground can be very slow to dry if not disturbed. With the organic matter level not being exceptional the soil tends to be tight in dry weather inhibiting root penetration. If it comes off wet after planting the tight soil even where drain tile exists does not allow for rapid perking of the water down into the subsoil. The only way I would recommend extensive no-till on heavy ground is on moderate slopping (as opposed to near level) ground where drainage issues are not a major concern.
As far as moldboarding goes I would avoid it but there are exceptions such as planting vegetables as it can be a requirement of the processor.
