What vertical mode do you use in the climb?

I find it interesting that anyone would use rate of climb for the (majority) of a climb. Yes, for a short step climb, down low and or when light, but otherwise, why would you want to throttle back your climb? Regarding using v/s near top of climb, clearly there is a need to "throttle back"; RVSM, potential TCAS issues, to name a few, but there are issues also with some aircraft using v/s. My company, on my jet, specifically warns against use of v/s when approaching a selected altitude. The altitude capture mode is "Foxtrot Uniformed" by use of v/s near the capture mode creating the the possibility of an overshoot of the selected altitude. Not good, especially if one was distracted right at the time the airplane was "expected" to level off.
Maybe this is just a function of an auto flight system that is/was over designed, or under engineered.

Speed mode 250 to 10k, then set 290 in speed mode, allow a/c to lower pitch to 3* then select pitch mode and turb mode.
Or if I want to go fast, then 1000 FPM above 10k until it slows to 250 KIAS then v/s as needed to maintain 250 to TOC.
speed mode if it is GLASS in the climb. Can't stand the oscillating!
