Hey Martin, My biggest feeling about Resolved / Closed is that once you close an issue, you can't edit it without reopening it. We've had several closed issues before where in fact later we've had to go back and update them (change an assignee; change a Fix or Affects version, etc.) Because they are "Closed" they can't be edited. So, in turn I favor using "Resolved" as the fixed issue status. Resolved issues can still be updated, so they don't require a re-open and re-close.
So my +1 to use Resolved instead of Closed.
