Single shot is supposed to be more accurate, but I am not sure it makes that much difference. However, there are times I want that confirmation or servo just won't grab the right spot. So a couple of months ago I reprogramed two back buttons - the af button is set for servo and the * button is single shot. Now that I am used to it, I have the best of all worlds. I can lock in the focus with servo or one shot, and meter with the shutter button. The biggest problem is you can not hand your camera to anyone to take a shot because they cannot figure out how to focus... but that does not happen often.
