No, points are not the best. To anyone who finds this thread, forget that you ever read that. This is a web design forum. For displaying pages on screen media. Points are included in CSS solely for the purpose of print design. For print media stylesheets. They are not scalable as % and ems are. If you are any sort of web designer you should be working to make your pages accessible and using points is a strike against that right off the top.

A user sets the text size of their browser to one that they find legible. By going and setting a font size using points or pixels to anything smaller than that then that page becomes unreadable and inaccessible. Forcing them to read text that could be drastically smaller than what they are capable of reading is ridiculous and should not be encouraged.
