That can be handy, but it's also a bit limiting due to its restriction to 
files.  Folders are not allowed.

More versatile is:

 choose file with multiple selections allowed

or 

choose folder with multiple selections allowed

Unless you really do want only one specific item.

I never use these unless I require user interaction in a script.  The scripts I 
posted yesterday do the job for me, and just in case I have the following 
script available via a few keystrokes from Typinator:

 tell application "Finder"
   set sel to selection as alias list
 end tell

In general I'd much rather navigate around the Finder itself rather than 
through a dialog.
