I've been pretty happy with my drip system, but then I have an acre of land
and couldn't afford to water it any other way.
Regarding the timing issue, if those drip tubes are above ground, you need
to give them time to cool off after they've been in the sun. Watering in
the afternoon will give your plants a nice little dose of scalding water,
and because the tubes get soft when warm, you'll have more cases of joints
blowing apart.
