I've been riding in the dark for years, but I hate spoke reflectors and won't use them. They make the wheels spin funny, and they contribute relatively little to your visibility unless you don't do things you should to be visible anyway.
I wear bright reflective clothing and have good reflective tape where it makes sense. I run HID in front and a NR universal in the rear in bad light conditions though I'll probably upgrade that to Dinotte. Reports I get indicate that I'm very visible from far away.
