As much as I distrust the anti cheat programs, cheating death is much better then VAC. Just look what happened when they turned Vac on for a few days with steam. There were so many people that got banned and booted from games just because they were using stuff like hlamp which allows you to control winamp from within half-life. People were banned for 5 years because they wanted to listen to music while playing, and they also don't have a good way of fighting the ban. Heck they don't even tell you what cheat you were using.
I don't think cheating death has done that and I'm not sure if there are any other problems with stuff like that.
There is no real sense in putting CD on if its going to be optional. People will still cheat and get away with it. Just because you play with it, don't mean others will.
I won't be because I just don't trust the program enough. I have also heard something (which I haven't confirmed for myself) that if you have CD on and go on a Vac protected server, Vac will pick it up as a cheat. So just for that I am staying away from Vac servers and I haven't installed CD.
