| Not too wet, not too dry. The soil should flow through the disc leaving a relatively level surface with various sized lumps from pea size to tennis ball size and should seldom stick to the blades. Trash should be dry and flow through with the soil helping prevent soil sticking to blades. Plowing in these conditions is least hurtful to soil structure.
The main thing is to stay off the field when it's wet. That's what cause's the pan. Not the disc.
IMO high speed discs in either wet soils (panning) or too dry soils (pulverizing) is very bad for the soil structure.
IMO offset discs, used wisely, are less harmful to soil structure than high speed discs.
Edit: Soil type dependent. The above comments are aimed more at heavier soils. Sandier soils are much more forgiving at being worked wet and will require different management techniques.
