I use .X because I love the pick object command. But the answer is whatever works for you.

I'm building an editor right now that makes a matrix and a duplicate .x (or vice versa) so that I can still use all the get ground height commands and all that. Plus I can ghost one and use it as a texture "blending" layer. But I stay away from BSP. No particular reason why, just seems like another headache.

Up until recently .X + in-dbp rendering engine.
However for a new project i'm working on, probably work on a new format; Currently i'm working with DBO for stuff, which is proving some fruitful results in terms of pure speed.

Hopefully with Service Pack 6.0 there will be C++ access to the DBO format, I've already been using the low-level mesh commands thanks to IanM's update for his Interface.

The new project means alot of new features must be developed to get it running at a reasonable speed.
Currently BSP just isn't worth the hassle unless your making a pure FPS.
