I think it all depends on how many miles you expect to keep your car.
If you drive often and want longevity, I'd use the clutch all day and rev-match...little clutch wear, no synchro wear. If you drive sparingly, then saving the effort might be worthwhile...but when synchros do need to be replaced, they'll probably be expensive.
Personally, I'd use the clutch and rev-match all day, including double-clutching, but I drive sparingly and mostly freeway so it's easier to tolerate anal driving habits.

I've heard about that too, but read somewhere that it was illegal. I have no idea why, but I can understand why it's done: 18 gears and a stiff clutch pedal must suck...Clutchless shifting, dual logbooks, what other illegal things do truckers do?
