Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Open vs closed back headphones

Are open or closed back headphones better for producing/mixing?
I always hear people recommend the MDR7506 and ATH-M50X but are open back headphones like the Sennheiser HD 650 actually better for producing? I am using them in my room so having the noise leak out is not a concern. Obviously the HD 650 are much more expensive headphones but what about cheaper variants such as the 558/598 and just open vs closed headphones overall?
