Advice for second grow - scrog or not?

Planning my second grow, my first one went well enough I suppose - I did notice 2-3 spots of spider mites upon harvest and many more seeds on a few plants than I previously thought.
I used a trellis netting for a partial scrog and it filled out the canopy well - but I couldn't see any of the problem areas in my tent with the scrog method 4x4 tent.
Now for the second grow I'm debating on just topping and using some slight LST as my AC infinity pots have 4 holes in them for the tie downs.
I like the even canopy that I got with the netting, but not being able to see my back plants is worrisome.
Thoughts?
 
I use a net no matter what at this point. I don't like using stakes or strings so I just use netting as cheap insurance. Grow plants right up into it, you can manipulate them through it. You don't necessarily have to "SCROG" them, you can just open the plant up through the net and not super micro manage it like a real scrog requires. You can also reuse the netting for many months, I have had the same netting for a year for two 5 ft x 20 x (100 sq/ft) rows and to clean it I just fog the netting after harvest with Zerotol solution in a Hudson fogger.

Using netting is just an easy way to insure the plant will be supported no matter what.
