I use unit quite often, but I also use "flat" font-sizing.
A percent-unit will result in a line-height based on inherited value,
which can be a bit hard to predict if complex font-sizing is applied.
Unitless will result in an exact and predictable line-height based on
the element's own font-size.
So, if you trim a lot with changing relative font-sizes and nest them
heavily, then the unitless line-height will give you the correct value
every time. If you use "flat" font-size with no inherited changes, then
it doesn't really matter.
If in doubt or in trouble: use unitless line-heights.
