Could you add a third option where all pad sizes below a certain size are direct, and all those above spoke ?   Presently I have to go through the ground plane adding large pads to every critical r.f. thru-hole component, and I notice these are always the small ones.  The solder temperature is obviously set a little higher when doing this but it's still best to use spokes for large inductors or mounting lugs as they have much higher thermal mass and it's better if the PCB doesn't add to this.
