Both of those articles are written by Greg Kroah-Hartman, the guy that
wrote most, if not all, of the linux USB subsystem.  The fact that he's
advocating udev would tend to suggest giving it serious consideration.

If you're currently using devfs, you'll probably eventually make the
switch to udev anyway, since devfs has been deprecated in favor of udev.

You could probably roll your own hotplug scripts to manage symlinks for
you whenever you install/remove a device, but I think udev will make
this easier.
