Default Lost Comm

Ok...now I know this is going to start an argument, or maybe just a good thread...

What is your take on the lost comm procedure on an IFR flight plan in IMC? Here is the situation:

You depart airport ABC enroute to airport XYZ and you will be using the GHI VOR for navigation. The GHI VOR is about halfway in between and lets say the distance from ABC to XYZ is 150 miles. Your clearance limit is the VOR which is an IAF for a VOR APP. You are issued an EFC and you lose COMMs enroute to the VOR. Obviously you would hold until your EFC, but would you shoot the approach into the random airport, or follow your flight plan to your destination?

This is a discussion I had with some co-workers last night.
