At the risk of revisiting this - IMHO the best way to key is to linearize the 
image so that it's spread as evenly across each histo channel as possible 
with no edges clipping either white or black without the slightest regard for 
what it actually looks like, pull the key, then apply as a matte back to the 
original image (I prefer to comp in log/lin preview in 1.7/1.8 display gamma, not 
a big fan of float on high-gamma systems). So, in that sense, it doesn't 
matter.
