Nothing is more impressive to me than a clean tight ending. Washouts sound like folks couldn't come up with anything better. I play with a guitarist who drives me nuts with them. We'll nail an ending clean and he has to put a "button" on it. We had it, why did you have to do that?
Of course there are places in a show where it's appropriate. Especially the old trick of starting up the song again. That always lifts a room.
Then there's the times when a good old space jam just takes over:

This was a goodbye show at a little dive that's been the home of the blues and live music in San Jose for some 30 years. These guys started there when they were still underage. They all have different gigs now, but the can still stretch out an ending. After a rousing Jeff's Boogie, including a part where the guitar player does Linus and Lucy solo, they go off on the ending. Around 13:15.
