I have built my own Assets library. It's autoloaded in autoload.php, so it's available for all pages.
The library his public arrays like $stylesheets and $javascripts.
And methods like add_stylesheet($path), and add_javascript($path).
But also: output_stylesheets(), which just returns a string with all stylesheets in the appropriate format.

In my controller, I do this:

PHP Code:
$this->assets->add_stylesheet( base_url() . 'assets/css/example.css');
$this->assets->add_javascript( base_url() . 'assets/js/example.js'); 

In my header view I have this:

PHP Code:
<head>
<?= $this->assets->output_stylesheets();?>
<?= $this->assets->output_javascripts();?>
</head> 

The method output_stylesheets in the library is like this:

PHP Code:
public function output_stylesheets()
{
    if (empty($this->stylesheets)) return NULL;
    $str = '';
    foreach($this->stylesheets AS $item){
        $str .= '<link rel="stylesheet" href="' . $item . '" type="text/css" />' . "\n";
    }    
    return $str;
} 

For me, this is as flexible as I need it.
