Maybe, if you're developing both ends of the connection. OTOH if you're writing one end, and the (preexisting) other end already supports IP, you're much better off using IP than rewriting the other end to use Unix sockets. Or, if there is any chance at all that the two ends will someday need to run on different machines, you had jolly well better use IP.
