used to be 100% split cue 2 ears on until a few years ago.
now its 99.9% 1 ear cue. Half the time I mix to the main rig instead of using the monitors - yes I know im a freak, but ive just adjusted to it after years of playing in places with shit monitors or non existant monitors and know how to adjust to the delay quickly now.

err.. care to explain your reason for this?
i've never really used the 2 ear method to mix. i use the split cue function (with both cups) to level out both tracks but from there its always one ear. in the house i use one ear with cue and master playing but when i play out i find i have to use just the cue track as not all mixers have a pan feature between cue/master

at home i usually do all my work in the headphones. -in stereo.
when i go 1 ear, i use the left one for cuing, and listen to the monitor, or rig on the right. sometimes i will match in the headphones, then pull one ear off to compare, and get an idea of what adjustments i will need to make for delay.
