Personally, I'm pretty good with numbers and I've never really had an issue with looking at a measurement listed in m/cm/mm and quickly comparing it to a number listed in one of the other units so this isn't something I've ever really thought about.
I have voted for mm because I like to have as much accuracy as possible provided it isn't completely impractical.
I agree on accuracy, but i dont see any reason to be that accurate in this case, beyond the familiarity some people feel with it.
For example using accuracy as a justification, we could go to the extreme and have it measured in micrometers, but that level of accuracy is really not important/relevant.
