Battery Bias; Are you using it? Why or Why not?

I'm finishing another amp build and I am seriously considering trying battery bias on the driver again.
Previously, when I tried it in another amp, it sounded ok, but I gave a "slight" edge to R/C cathode bias on a cap coupled 2 stage amp.
And I'm a little concerned about battery life, what happens when it fades and how do you know?
I've read most of the archives here and elsewhere.... it seemed like there was a flurry a few years ago, but not much discussion lately....

So I'm wondering, if you've tried it, are you still using it...why or why not?
