I googled it and people mostly say that you have to use the full rom, but whats your take on the matter and why?

Powerlifting to Win has some pretty extensive analysis of bench form.

Nice find!

It's a great site. Izzy has done a lot of homework.

I'd love to do dumbbell work. The guy writing my programming doesn't include it, and doing extra stuff on the sly screws with his data analysis.

There are also non-full ROM bench variations/supplemental work; they include pin bench, floor press, towel bench, etc.
