Any reason to use 10GBASE-T?

Noob fiber questions. I never had to work with fiber, since the stuff I manager works fine on 1GbE, including my Nimble CS300 SAN. But time to refresh stuff and I'm going to at least 10G on my next refresh in a few months.

Is the answer to always use SFP+, no matter what? Even if the runs are less than 30'? What are people using 10GBASE-T for? I see Nimble has NIC options for 10GBASE-T on their controllers.

Also, when connecting two ProCurve 5406Rs together over a long distance (500'+), single mode fiber using a SFP+ transceiver module is the only way to go, right?
