Don't have 'em, can't imagine ever using them. Some pepople seem to like them, so go with what you're most comfortable with.

Descending...take a look at the picture of KfC descending in the Burney book - that's what I (hope) to aim for when descending! ( ;-) Yeah, right!)

Cheers,
Steve

I never used them on my first real cyclocross bike, so have not put them on any bike since. If it is so steep or technical that I could use them, I find that I have better control riding in the drops, fingers on the brake the levers. Better turning, weight balance and brake power than being on the tops.
