I think it depends on the situation and the child. Some children need a lot of discipline and some don't. I wouldn't spank my child if all that was required was the "look." You know... that squint that says "if you don't stop actin' a fool I'ma beat the $hit out of you right here in this store." However, in order for the "look" to be effective, some a$$ whoopin' has to have happened in the past. It worked for me (spanked twice in my life), but for my brothers it took shoes, extension cords, belts, yard sticks, grounding, etc.
I have an 11 year old and won't hesitate to whoop that a$$...in public, private...I don't care. He's mine and I'll do what the hell I want with him. I also give adult family members (my mom, my dad, my brothers) the okay to loc' up if need be. But "need be" has been discussed beforehand. It does not mean because he is talking and you can't hear the Laker game. It means if he almost gets killed running in the street after you told him to stay his butt inside. I'm old school.
I also think spanking the butt is different than slapping the face. Slapping the face, to me, is way more degrading than tappin' that ass.
