If it is just a hex away, it may be worth going to the shell hole, rough or whatever from plain open terrain if your infantry have not moved much or at all.
But if you say get opfired on for moving, lose a casualty and get set to a bad status, maybe not. If under direct fire, then the best hex may well be one that is not in enemy LOS, rather than taking a chance on a small factor and attracting fire for trying to go there. Hunkering down is usually the best bet then.
So - it depends on the situation, and your judgement based on past experience, and chance/luck.
