With a 260 yard par 3 - I'm laying up.
Heck - I had a round in mid October where I wasn't hitting the ball all that well. Came to the last hole - a 190 yard par 3. I hit my 9 iron (poorly) twice to leave myself on the fringe, then lipped out my 30 foot chip and made bogey. Better, IMO, than hitting 3 iron twice from the tee (because the first one is OB), and still having to get on the green...
I make enough poor decisions with my driver (like taking out of the bag, for instance) that the last thing I need to do is try to get on a long par 3 in one with any other club.
