To Dither or not to Dither ?

I’m set up for dithering but haven’t tried as yet
Just wanted to know how many people Dither and are the image results from dithering a lot better than dark frame calibration for both DSLR and CCD
Also if your guiding is not great ( say 1.50 to 2.0 arc sec error ) is it worth dithering as the mount may take a along time to recover in between frames which would make it a very long nights imaging ?
Would you both dithering with short exposures say 30 sec to 60 sec ?
Thanks in advance
