That relies on being able to make full use of the drop, in which case you'd have been fine with a static BB and magic gear.
If your chain length places the BB at the front or back of the shell (as opposed to the top or bottom), you're shit out of luck and have altered the effective ST angle of the frameset.
Rocker/sliding dropouts still make more sense imo, as they offer more options (now and in future) for different brake and gear types.

EBB is the lightest and leaves you with the biggest number of possible frames (BB30/PF30).
I actually like to be able to adjust my BBdrop 14mm in total. I.e being able to have a high BB in summer/early season when grip is plenty and being able to pedal early out of corners. When the mud appears you are better off having a low CG. And its really not as fiddly as it sounds...
