Using tmux at the moment, but I'm pretty ambivalent about whether I use screen
or tmux.  I'm using tmux because the keybindings on how to split a screen are
fresh in my head, I don't remember them for screen.  I have a menu set to SSH
into particular servers, and those shortcuts set up a terminal with screen. 
Screen has ZMODEM support which I do use.

However I've found that systemd now terminates all your processes when you log
out, including detached screen and tmux sessions!
