Rule of thumb for me is if 600 yds or less then I can use standard mounts with 0 cant. More than 600 yds it's a 20 MOA rail. BUT if I'm going to use a rail it'll be a 20 MOA because there's no real reason to go for a 0 MOA rail over a 20. On rifles I'm carrying a lot I prefer two piece bases and rings just because I like to carry them with my thumb hooked between the scope & rifle and a rail interferes with that.

The rail is a superior system though and if you are going to use one then make it a 20 MOA, there's no real reason to buy a 0 MOA rail that I can see.
