I'll say from the outset that hucksters are my favorite concept to play, and have been since I started. Accordingly, this has come up a number of times, and our Marshal's view on it is basically the same as mine (though he can correct me if I'm somehow wrong).

What you aim for is what you get. I mean, it's one thing to get a good hand & lift a baddy by his gunbelt-- it's quite another to completely skip your target and head on to the bigger fish simply because you got a better hand.

Of course, with something like Black Lightnin', this doesn't apply, since it's a new throwing roll every time you want to hit somebody.

IMO, casting a hex isn't really that different from slinging a bullet. How many marshals would let you hop-scotch targets just because you rolled a 35 to shoot?
