Actually, I find that even with 0 second redirect, the page is still  
visible as the redirect doesn't occur until load has finished. The  
server one occurs before any output to the browser - you really can't  
see anything, it's already gone over there.

For speed, bandwidth etc, nothing beats a server redirect.

Under CDML I used page redirects all the time, but now that I have the  
power to make the server do the work, I use it :-)
