Use base_url for all internal links?

I disagree, using base_url() makes it impossible to work without rewriting the URL, which is be very convenient for developing and testing or special case scenarios.

Thats a good point I have never thought about (though I should have ).
In this manner this would be right:

Code:

<?php echo base_url();?>assets/img/img.jpg
<?php echo site_url();?>controller/method

Like Tomcode said: basically both are working but in case you can't use mod_rewrite
for any reason you would have to change all base_url()s pointing to a controller/method.
