My experience is that using the the various conditional templatetags is painful. I can never seem to do what I want, either because I'm too much of a newbie or there is some gotcha such as "filters don't work inside if" (I seem to remember something like that, but again, it might just be my own problem)
I've come to the conclusion that it is easier to use a template tag. That way I can just do my thing with a little bit of python that I completely understand, and I don't have to constantly be looking up what I can do with the template language. I find the template tags where you define the tag and the renderer to also be very useful, as these give you access to the context.
