If I only have one kill and no damage, I'll use the rearm pad. One, I get a head start on getting my name in lights, which makes me look like one of the cool kids. But more importantly, I do it to maintain the skill of taxiing the airplane and getting to the rearm without wrecking, and taking off without auto-takeoff. Because in scenarios, I need this skill. Yeah its slower, but for me its something I need to practice doing or I won't be able to when it counts.
