Open primaries tend to result in more moderate candidates and more competitive elections.  The latter is nice because it makes it easier to successfully primary the corrupt/establishment/ineffective establishment-types that you could never do in a general election.

Agreed. I prefer open primaries for these reasons.

More democracy is (usually) a good thing.
