To tease out or not to tease out (roots)

Dear friends

I have been given conflicting advice on how to plant geraniums and other (what are here) annuals.

One person said to really tease out the roots so that they don't form a root ball. Another said that you absolutely shouldn't do that because the plant is already in a state of shock from being transplanted in the first place and that disturbing the roots will cause further unwanted suffering

Over the two years that I have planted geraniums there have been too many other variables to discern whether or not teasing or not teasing out the roots is more beneficial for the plants. I want what's best for them.

Any advice gratefully received
