I go with the LaraMoon and Sue here, it depends on the story and how the relationship has been built up. If it "works," I'll take it.

Although I will say that I used to be partial to the blowout type of reaction when I started reading. Then as I read fic after fic with that reaction, I began to appreciate those who presented a Lois that didn't fly off the handle. *shrug* Maybe when I get tired of those then I'll go back. Still to reiterate--it really doesn't matter as long as the context makes her reaction believable.
