Joanna,

The answer to this also depends quite a bit on what kind of analysis you 
plan to do.  Predicting ego attributes/status/behavior as a function of 
network summary measures, characterizing observed dyads by ego and alter 
attributes, or using the egocentric data to infer a model for the whole 
network.

best,
Martina
