I like to keep vital statistics on the menu bar so that I can monitor resource usage while programs are executing in the foreground. I monitor the disk activity, network activity and the CPU temp/fan speed most of the time. This is why I prefer the menu bar version to the system prefs.

Agreed. Menu bar works so well. But it can drive OCD on temps if you are obsessed in that area.
