Depends upon how much you really want it. There are many times when you place a buy at the bid price and you don't get the fill. When you place a buy at the ask you are more likely to get filled. There are some times when even placing a buy at the ask doesn't work because the stock is in huge demand and the price keeps upticking - in that case, people who really want shares will place an order over the ask.
