Which strategy to use depends entirely on the DX operator and the size
of the pileup. When there are only a few stations calling, most DX ops
will listen on just one frequency. When the pileup becomes huge, they
will generally change RX frequencies after each QSO just because there
is such a howling mess on the one freq they can't copy anything. 

A good part of the skill in DXing is knowing when to change from one
mode to the other.
