I play with no DH for an important reason based on how OOTP generates results.

Since it generates totals based on a league total setup, adding the DH takes a lot of hits and home runs that if pitchers have to hit for half the game does not happen. I tend to find that if I have a DH a league leader might be .311 average and 38 HR, while with no DH the same leaders will be .320 and 44 HR.
Same is true for pitchers, they will have better year numbers with no DH

So my choice is based solely on OOTP as an engine itself, less on what I like or don't like as a baseball fan.
