I'm currently a fan of the slip indicators, which allow me to adjust even up to very deep depths (while chroni fishing) while releasing during the hookset and allowing me to reel close enough to the fish to land them easier. The only pain of this slip indicators, is you have to reset after each hookset, so you need some way of remembering your set depth to get it back in the same range. Some people use little rubber line stoppers, like bass fishermen use for their bullet weights. That way you can set that above your slip indicator, and when it releases you know exactly where to reset it at. I tend to just pay attention to where on my leader I'm setting it, usually a certain distance from my leader to tippet knot, or leader to fly line if fishing deep...either way. I went away from thingamabobbers because they cause too much stress on your line and can lead to break offs at the indicator.
