marcus,
m/s may be your preference but as you know the aviation community uses ft/min.

As a professional pilot I must also side with m/s (even over km/h). What really matters to us is this rate of descent relationship vis-a-vis our present flight level. Since I flatly reject the stupid ft crap in favor of meters (evidently) then there should be no argumentation about which format this ratio should be presented as: m/s, and ONLY so! (There is unfortunately very little relevancy that would be attached to km/h *in this particular case*)
