I have been using the 'em' tag more and more for my CSS. To be honest, I set most of my copy to 1em and don't look back. If you are concerned, provide users with a text magnification option to resize all fonts.
While this in theory is what we should strive for, the cascade and inheritance problems that occur with using ems or % inside complex markup make the effort not worth it. Browsers have a zoom function these days. Best to let the browser do the work there and stick with an exact measurement so the layout will work and be readable and less prone to construction error.
