Agreed with what you said about it being a trade-off in the end. I have some friends who use it minimally like you do, and with privacy settings for exactly the reasons you said (and they even put on their profile they don't really check their Facebook much).
Yet, for me, the trade is not worth it, so for me I'd have to say I'm completely on one end of the spectrum. That being that any of the positives are not worth it to me for the privacy trade-off. If anyone really needs to get hold of me (friend of a friend or whatever), they know how to (e.g. my email address or via text message), or they can request these details from a mutual friend. Neither of which requires me being on Facebook.

Precisely my sentiment!
