+1 for dry vs. wet.
Its a risk vs. reward equation with the reward, clean brake fluid, being the same either way.
I was flushing brakes a few years ago (wet) with my power bleeder. I connected the bleeder, pump it up and go around to passenger rear to start the process. All was fine at first, then the flow stopped...I get up to check the bleeder and the hose had cracked (~4 years old) at the bleeder inlet and was leaking wonderful brake fluid all down the bleeder and into the frunk. Luckily, an old towel had absorbed the fluid and I was able to clean up without any damage.
Only downside to using the bleeder dry is keeping a watchful eye on the MC reservoir level, but after you've had a hose crack, that's no big deal!
