Really depends. When I used to live down by Disney I would go a lot for day trips and just spend the day at a park. If I go for a week I usually do like 2 days when I hop parks depending on what I really want to ride that day or experience.
We've always hopped. We like to go back to MK to see Wishes several times during a week-long stay. And going back to a different park late nights after a break at out hotel.

After this last trip (for the past week I was in the World), I would never plan to not hop. Planning guide times were way off and crowds were heavy toward the end of the week going into the week preceding Easter. We would show up at one park, be discouraged by the crowds, and leave to try another park, which really worked out for us. The second park we tried was inevitably less chaotic every time. So glad we had the hoppers, or we would have just ended up back at our resort relaxing instead of fighting crowds. Instead, we were able to rethink, change parks, and get a lot done.

From my reading of the My Disney Experience TOS, it seems to limit FP+ scheduling to one park per day. Also, once you're on paperless tickets, you are no longer going to be able to participate in standard FP (per that same TOS).
This could, potentially, decrease the value of having a Park Hopper add-on for some. I know I've park hopped in the past and used FP at 3 different parks on the same day. That looks to soon be a relic of the past.
Always! at $6 a day on a 10 day trip it is well worth the money. Especially on that "kids night out" when DD & DM get to go and ride a few of the more adventurous rides at HS & MK then scoot over the Epcot for a couple of adult beverages a quite dinner and a stroll around the avenue
