The size argument again. My answer is simple:

Given sufficient time a good assembler programmer can fit an application
in a smaller code size than a HLL programmer. Given sufficient code
space a HLL programmer can write the same application in less time. 

Just determine for your situation what is more important (for a
commercial situation: what would give the lowest total cost).
