[Haskell-cafe] Type classes vr.s functions

So, style question for people, if I can. I have a certain problem- basically, I have a bunch of functions which need a special function, of type a -> Foo say. And a bunch of other functions which can define that function on some type of interest, and then what to call the first batch of functions. I can do this either by defining a type class, something like: class Fooable a where toFoo :: a -> Foo or I can simply have all the functions which need a toFoo take an extra agrument. Performance really isn't that important here, so it's really a matter of style- which approach would people prefer in this case? Brian
