Definately use Nav Manager if your site will end up being quite large.. I've had performance issues within a project i worked on a few years back using the nested UL's approach.. where the site had become extremely large (3000-4000+ pages).. pages would take betwen 30-60 seconds render.
Once you get the hang of using Nav Manager (especially Render Tags) - it is very flexible and can save you a lot of development time in the long run. Nav Manager will work for ANY project - no matter how simple or complex.. (the only time when i did not use Nav Man (and used the nested UL's approach) was when there was a requirement for separate workflows to be applied to individual pages.. but thats another story!!)
