Continue to destination with loss of one hydraulic system

Hello,

I am quite new to the boeing 737NG. With a loss of hydraulic system A OR B would you continue to your destination or land at your departure airport? I am looking at this from a simulator point of view, on the line I would contact company. I also realise that shortly after take off with loss of B you would have to return to the airport of departure. My thinking is if I lost hydraulic system A I would be inclined to continue as this would burn off more fuel and lower your landing weight at the other end, which would be beneficial as you have no ground spoilers upon landing. My logic seems sound just posting to check that I have not missed something obvious.
