I am debating on this right now. For our next trip I think it would be a fun thing to do on arrival day. I would like to do the 5 pm show but don't know if I should use two credits or just pay OOP.

If we paid OOP I wold do category 1.
 
We do the Hoopdedu every year for our finale. Its a fun show and pretty good food too! We use DDP for it( but once pd. OOP for it) and now that my DD is consider and adult I will always us it on my DDP.
So I think depending on family size and ages would factor in for me. It is pricey, so DDP is a good deal.
While Catoegory one is great 2&3 aren't bad seats either.
 
Just in case you don't already know, you can use the DDP for Category 1 seating during the 9:30 show...although I know that some families don't like to wait that late to eat.

I think it really depends on what your other ADRs are. Basically, it makes more sense to pay for two other meals OOP (and use the DDP for HDDR), if the combined price per person would be less than $55 to $60. For example, if you were planning on any breakfasts or less expensive restaurants (Beaches & Cream, 50s Prime Time, etc.) it would likely save you money to pay for two meals OOP. However, if you're trying to maximize the dining plan by doing mostly dinners or pricier 1 TS meals (Ohana, Akershus, Tutto Italia), you should probably pay for HDDR OOP. Hope that all makes sense!
 
It depends on whether you will use the credits elsewhere. We aren't big eaters at lunch or breakfast so the extra TS credit would go to waste.
 

We have been a few times and we always pay OOP.

First, we love cat. 1 seating and we can only do the 5:00 show because our family is used to eating early.

Second, we can always use the extra TS because we really enjoy character breakfasts and we must sqeeze in a couple of TS lunches and/ or dinners so we have to pay OOP for something anyway.

Cash works best for us :thumbsup2
