Depends. For example when strumming the Bm chord you might barre all six strings to avoid accidently hitting the unbarred low E string - which would sound worse than accidently strumming the barred F# note. Depends on how accurate a strummer you are. Also (mostly beyond pure strumming) the wanted low note may alternate, such as B-F#-B-F#...
