I think it depends on the set and the venue. I know that a T226 set did better in the 2009 Heritage auction broken down than it would have as a set because several collectors needed certain cards for their sets or collections. If you let the auctioneer do the "set or broken, let the price decide" thing, the set will nearly always win out because no one wants to waste their time bidding up a card when it could be jacked at the end for the set sale. I know I don't even bother looking at those.
If you don't need the cash now, I'd say decide what you'd like to net and consign it w/a 0% commission and a reserve. If that doesn't work, bust it up and Ebay the pieces. or If you need the money now, sell off the meat (stars and rarities) individually on Ebay and consign the bones to an auctioneer to blow out.
