I've been using this style quite a bit lately.

I like the fact it gives you some kind of explicit interface for your
views, rather than just relying on instance variable copying.

It also has some benefits with partials - as you can override the helper
method by passing a local. Which you can't if the partial is relying on an
instance variable.
