I didn’t vote because there was no "I am glad I didn’t buy adjustable" option.
I use my car for street driving and drag/auto x three times a year. The only adjustable part I buy is the pan hard rod. The only reason I justify that is to keep the tires from rubbing on the inner wheel well.
I have fun full adjustable every thing and have seen little improvement over non-adjustable.
*note, this is with a good shop setting up the adjustable stuff for me. *
Flat out I have never seen a situation where I needed adjustable parts other than that pan hard bar mentioned earlier.
I just have issues with over-paying for something I dont need.
Also I have seen people buying the stuff and adjusting it wrong.

I prefer the single adjustable pieces. I had the fear that the double adjustable (on-car) pieces could become un adjusted if the jam nut backed off at all. Plus once you set it you shouldnt have to change it.

Adjustable suspension parts will pay for themselves many times over if you plan on changing setups over the years. Lowering, raising ride height, running bigger rear tires, being able to adjust pinion angle. Adjustable shocks are the ****.
I have double adjustable rod end LCAs and panhard. Love the easy on car adjustment. Have not had a jam nut come loose yet but I check everything regularly anyway. It can be overwhelming with a completely adjustable suspension, lots of trial and error to get everything setup but thats part of the fun too.
