Answer 1

In a practical sense, if you pass your model into a view from the server, then ng-cloak is fine -- when the page renders, your view data is populated. However, if you're using a more mobile-friendly approach of loading your html and loading your data and perhaps localization with an additional call, then ng-model prevents {{}} flicker between when your page loads and your data arrives. However, I find ng-model insufficient as it can't be used universally, so I generally put an ng-show on a container that exposes the view after the data has been retrieved and a flag has been set.
