We started using Percona's MySQL builds by default a couple of years ago. There are some nice performance and convenience features not included in the MySQL.com builds. (Un)fortunately we still have quite a few MySQL 4.1 instances happily running and are still using MyISAM across over 360 million tables. Most of that stuff is not running Percona.
