I voted UVMapping. It mentally tires the modder.

In theory, yes, but theres always something. things like grouping the lights in the wrong order, or forgetting to move the axes on turrets, or worse still, putting all the lights in place for turret points etc, and then realising you haven't sized up the model, and you can't hook the mouse on the bloody 'expand all' tool in the corner of the bounding box for love nor money :( And even if you do things perfectly, you can practically garuantee that at least one rotating turret is playing silly buggers :(

Hierarchy is full of these little frustrations ;)

I agree with you there, tires me out after awhile.
