Our 2 cents worth:

From our understanding, the primary argument against the hiding method is that if the page does not post back, the user is left with no button. Here are my thoughts on that:

1) If the page does not post back there are greater problems at play. If the server isn't responding you will recieve a screen showing so. A reclick by that time is a mute point. Honestly, this has never been an issue for me. Understand, I'm not saying the point isn't valid, I'm just saying this has never been a problem for us.

2) Many times a user reclicks simply because they do not remember if they clicked the button or if they clicked hard enough, etc... The visibility acts as a visual que to let the user know that the button was clicked.

Arguments could be made either way...
