I rap off sometimes to reduce rope wear when the rope runs over an edge or some abrasive rock. Never sure if its better rapping of double ropes or a single strand though. An advantage of rapping off the single strand that does not go through the draws is your brake rope is free hanging and you don't have to deal with any tension or change in direction as you descend. If you do ever rap off a single strand I suggest you clearly communicate to your belayer that they should tie off both strands to their harness to avoid the possibility of rapping of a rope that is not anchored at all.
