the reverso is my tool of choice. Why? Because most of the climbing I do is wandering multi-pitch leading on double ropes. It is easy to set up a belay directly from the anchor using a reverso rather than belaying from my harness & redirecting through the anchor. I've managed to feed out slack to my second & lower him or her with no problems.
Don't damn a good tool just because a few people have misused it. I wouldn't trade mine in anytime soon. Except that mine seems to have been recently lifted from my harness at the gym. . So, at the beginning of climbing season here, I have to go out & get myself a new reverso.
