how do you decide to go still or sparkling?

The title says it all. Made a cyser last weekend and I'm thinking about making it sparkling once bottling time comes around. (Final product should be around 12%, and I'd force carbonate)

My question being, is there something about the mead that land you towards still or sparkling? What decide the volumes of co2 you go for?

If you plan to force carbonate then why not do both and see what you prefer?

Ive done that on a few batches. For sparkling meads Ive gone w low levels of carbonation.
