Generally I prefer to play with graphs of. Makes for more uncertainty, insecurity, and forces you to scout extensively. The exception to this are no-diplomacy games (where you can't discuss the state of the games and general threats with your co-players) and games with a big disparity in player experience/quality. (Since having the graphs off gives a big advantage to whever the game leaders may be)

I think diplomacy is far more enjoyable with graphs on. I don't think it's fun to find out belatedly "oh, I guess [Nation] was really kicking everyone's ***, too bad we didn't do anything about it a long time ago."

And even with graphs on there is still a lot that is not known - army size is a poor measure of strength, what exact research paths have been taken, luck and blood income, battle tactics, exact troop location, etc.

I actually don't think I would play another graphs off game, just my preference.
