I usually do the planning. For me it is more about quality and price. But I'll be honest, there are a few things that have to be 100% to get me to book a B&B. For one, I won't bother a B&B owner for 1 night. For another, I have to be sure that I'll feel accepted... I constantly hear stories about people believing that their religious beliefs allow them to discriminate and I don't want to be somewhere where I'm not welcome.
As I said before, I went on vacation once, wanting to stay at B&Bs, but I had local cash and all the owners wanted was for me to pay them ahead of time via Paypal and I just didn't feel comfortable with that. And hated that I had to negotiate in email to find a place. Ended up at hotels because of it..
