Default To snub or not to snub

Currently, I don't use snubbers (e.g.,http://tinyurl.com/2bm2g3), but I see
a lot of boats using them. I'm using the standard three line braid dock line
and spring lines, so I don't really see the need, especially since they
apparently degrade rather fast. And, $35 each??

What do you think? Do you use them?

Never used one yet. But I'm not to worried about yanking my cleats
off.
Save your money, just use 3 strand nylon it has plenty of spring.
Snubbers for dock lines are for West Marine, and boatsUS fools.
