When driving I find the reflective stuff to be fantastic- you can see an "H" of light on motorway workers jackets from a very great distance.
But, and it's a big but, the reflective stuff needs to be struck by a bright light.
I think a sensible mix of things is desirable- a nice bright (but not dazzling) light, some reflective strips (I usually wear a pair of trousers to cycle in which has reflective writing on the inner surface of the trouser leg, so when rolled up it makes your calf reflective, but at work they are normal smart trousers.
I never normally wear a helmet commuting, but do wear one when out in the lanes.
