Larry, Jory, it all depends of course.  And in that I advocate doing the 
homework.

Thin dielectric does a better job suppressing resonant peaks than does 
thick dielectric with equivalent loss tangent.  As shown in several 
papers including one that Istvan's group presented several years ago, 
the smaller that we make cavity polygons, the higher their Q.  If we do 
the homework we can figure out whether our best choice is in terms of 
stack-up and routing that will get us reliably to our performance goals 
with the least cost and grief.

Best Regards,


Steve.
