  If there is a chance of getting a putt over 50 feet I would prefer to lay-up for a 30 yard or so wedge.

  Excellent point, especially if you have punches, pitches and chips in your arsenal. :-)

  Unless there is some sort of severe slope involved (especially going up a hill and then down toward the hole), I would take the putt every single time.
