I've had lousy luck with timing the last few double XP weekends, either being out of town on vacation or business during them, so I am really hoping the next one isn't the weekend of 1-22 thru 1-24.
To answer the original question though, I find the early levels easy enough to get through, so if I'm able to play during the next 2xXp weekend, I'll probably concentrate on a few characters in the 20-30 range. Most likely it'll be a hero on Virtue and a villain on Guardian, since I want to get one of each of these to 50 in 2010.

Go check other games (such as WoW) and see how much they charge for server transfers...I think you'll see that $9.99 per is pretty dang cheap in comparison (not that I'd sneer over free ones every so often, like the devs are doing now |

The main good thing about x2 xp from a stats perspective, for me, is x2 prestige. If I wants load of XP normally, I just farm or powerlevel my toons, which can easily be done to reach the level you want to be at (usually 20 to get stamina).
But the best thing overall - and the reason I normally take vacation around x2 xp - is the amount of people online. It is SOOO easy to find a team during x2 xp and that is what I like about it.
To cover the cost of the system (we didn't always have it).
If BAD THINGS HAPPEN it covers the human time to fix it (either repairing the system or if a player's data gets corrupted, etc.)
To discourage over-use. Which probably can cause the above item to happen more.
