CHMOD 777 question

I have a quick question:

I have an application that requires 2 folders to be CHMOD'ed to 777... I am not too keen on that, and was considering CHOWN'ing the folders to user:nobody and then CHMOD to 775 instead?

Is this a good idea, or do I just achieve the same as CHMOD'ing to 777 in the first place?
