I persevered with one of those little plastic petzl pulleys for a while - and hate them.
They only work on the right biner - anything else and the rope falls off to one side. So then, rather than being just a pulley, its a pulley + dedicated biner. I just carry one rock exotica (now petzl make them) small blue sealed bearing prusik minding pulley and 3 prusiks - that can work out most problems. I'll take the heavier pulley and the verisitility of the prusiks - tiblocs are fun and efficient but also one trick ponies - very difficult to move the opposite direction and don't go on double ropes.

We have been discussing two different types of setups- one that is set up to haul, and the other which is set mid-way through belaying a second up a pitch - possibly with the rope already under tension. In the later, you are pretty much stuck with the rope running through whatever belay device you use as your top pulley.
