I found one time where I really like a bail. Wetsuiting. If you get blown off a rock the line often gets knocked off the roller and if it's night time it can be tough to see that it happened, so I have to check everytime I get sloshed around. A bail would solve/prevent that problem. But obviously that situtation is fairly rare and usually I move after a few hits like that.
Otherwise, bailess, all the way. If you like your bail though (many do), the bailed VS is passing the test in the surf. The first couple of test reels have been in intentionally malicious service for almost a year now. The bailess reel should actually be more durable then the bailess due a redesign that eliminates most of the flex in the drivetrain.
