I never have one attached while diving, it is just another piece of garbage to get entangled. Even for long swims I find it easy to flip on my back and avoid it.
I do have one strapped to my plate a times out of the way. It can be fun to swim in the shallows after a shore dive with a snorkel, but I just don't consider it essential gear.
