Ted Greene chose 99.999999% of the time to play chords but that was his thing. Others may lean more towards picking single notes. Maybe if you are heavily influenced by sax players or trumpeters you make like a single line better. I guess its really personal disgresssion which way you would want to aproach a song. I hear alot of guys put chords where other guys dont and vise versa.
It would hurt you to try out a verse both ways and see what tickles your ear better.

Quentin, if you're drawn to horn lines, that wouldn't necessarily drive you to single note stuff.
I've been known to spend an afternoon listening to Al Green before a blues jam, and walk in all ready to be the whole dang horn section. Three part horn fills, baby!
