Isosurfaces are my go-to for most of the elements in my scenes, unless 
they are too far away for surface texture to be noticeable.  In close-up 
views, I never find that just using normals gives me the look that I 
want, whereas I have complete control with an isosurface.

I pay for this, though, as my scenes tend to render pretty slowly...
