I have a whole home wired for X10 using mostly Leviton parts.  Everything
works fine and it was no cheaper than using any other protocol.  The big
benefit and reassurance is multi-vendor support and sourcing.  If Leviton
or another major supplier was ever to offer the parts I use in a better and
multi-vendor supported protocol I'd be willing to switch.  One part I have
found impossible to match is the X10 compatible HXC4D which is the 4 device
dimming wall switch controller.
