Milling Vise--To Swivel or not to Swivel?

It's interesting the poll is 60-40 for. As a noob I would like to ask humbly because I really don't know. Those of you who use a swivel and recently used it, what did you do with it?

The last time I used a swivel base, I was milling an extractor relief cut in the tenon on a custom 10/22 barrel.I had the barrel clamped in the vise, swiveled it to the correct angle, and made the cut with a Woodruff keyseat cutter. It worked very well for me.
