How about trying them out for yourself? If you do close grip, i'll bet my left and right sac you'll feel stress and burn in the tricep region. Me personally I bench x2 a week, cgbp on tri day and on chest day, I go 2.5-3 inches from shoulder width for grip. The paint on my bar is clearly visible on where I put my hands lol.

Bench is weird for some people as their preferences are different. I know people (me for example) who keep the elbows tucked in, others I know don't and etc. Feel free to try out n see whats best for you.
