Its interesting, for almost all of the examples suggested by Mike I have downclimbed rather than abseiled down.
However given good anchors i would far prefer to abseil because you get down faster, the reason I often dont do this is probably being too lazy to set up anchors, the diffficulty of finding some of the anchors, time constraints, etc, etc...
I voted for abseiling because, although thats not wat i seem to have done on all of Mikes examples, its what i feel safer doing.
