Just for space and time saving considerations , I like to split a turkey and do half on each rack of my WSM . Speeds up the cooking big time. Saves charcoal too. Turkey comes out moist and juicy with great crisp skin.
 
I like to spatchcock myself. I think there is no good reason to keep a bird looking like a bird in the smoker other than for presentation. If it cuts time and fuel. Cooks more evenly. tastes just as good. Why not?
 
I spatch my birds. I feel that a spatched bird cooks evenly. You also cut down on the cooking time which is nice.

As for presentation a spatched bird gets lots of compliments, but we typically carve the bird prior to putting it on the table so not a big deal in our house.
 
If I were to vote, it would be whole. As I have yet to spatch a bird. The link dirtsailor provided is a nice one though. Gonna have to try it.
