Does anyone else use voices instead of layers in most single-bar
rhythmically-independent divisi situations?

The advantages of voices over layers are:
1) common rests remain centered in the measure
2) independent rests can be placed on-the-fly depending on where the cursor
is when you launch the second voice
3) ties, slurs and articulations behave the same way they do in layers

With these advantages, I'm surprised at how many Finale users prefer to use
layers when they could be using voices -- which are way more efficient in
most divisi situations (especially in percussion and drum parts).
