The recommended usage of open is:

The three argument is preferred as a malicious user could enter a file name that
starts with '>'
It is preferred in code that accepts file names as user input and
doesn't perform taint checking. If the program uses a hard-coded
filenames, then no hurt, no foul. There can be no malicious user until
there is first a user.
There's no time like the present to learn good habits.
