I intentionally didn't suggest a layout like this. 1st it has a horrible spacing and 2nd it's very hard to read.

This would mark up the text surrounding the pull quote as somehow different than the one preceding and following the pull quote and thus confuse the reader.
I don’t think so because it’s common in magazines but TeX isn’t the best tool for this.
Mostly in magazines the layout comes first and the readability second, that's why magazines can't be a measure for a readable layout. Best example is variable inter-character spacing.

These both pull quotes are not centred.
No but the look better and disturb you (or at least me) while reading.

This looks fine, it's common this way. But it only works in a two-column layout. I assumed we're talking about one column layouts.
Yes, for more columns use always the full width, even spanned columns are possible but i won’t use shaped text. Wolfgang
