I favour plain TeX for a resume. LaTeX is based on the principle of writing structured text telling to tell it what you mean, and letting it deal with the presentation. With a resume, it's worth spending extra time doing the presentation yourself.

That said, it does take time to micromanage the presentation. Last time I needed a resume, I was a student and had the time. I don't know what my next resume will be in, or if I'll ever need one again.
