Full article vs. Summary for index of blog?

    Wondering if it is more advantageous to use a blog style that has full articles on the index page and scrolls down into a long page (which is the traditional style) versus using these new type of templates that are more of a look of a website that have summaries of entries and other features?

    While the newer style blog themes like Revolution look great because they look more like a professional website and not a blog, I would believe that the SEO benefits of a long blog page with more keywords would be significantly better.

    Any input either way would be appreciated.

    I prefer summary style in my wordpress or joomla powered sites.

    I use the full post. It has more keywords and requires less action from the reader. Even if that action was only a mouse click to read the full article.
    I think it looks better IMO.
