Default Bridge or Center Tap?

For my next project I have acquired a transformer with two identical 450v
secondary windings. I could put the windings in parallel and use a bridge
rectifier. Or, I could put the windings in series and ground the coupling
for a 450-0-450 configuration to use with a pair of diodes.

Which would you do? What are the pro's and con's of the two
configuration?

For this project I am using SS rectifiers. Were I using a tube rectifier
I would go with the center tap, of course.
