DSM2 is certainly fine on inexpensive planes but the primary advantage of the newer frequency hopping of all manufactures (such as Spektrum in this case) is operating in an environment with a LOT of RC transmitters or other interference on the 2.4 gHz band. DSMX and other frequency "hopping" protocols don't provide much additional insurance under normal conditions. If there aren't a lot of transmitters or noise on the band about the only thing you gain with DSMX is a little less latency.
A data logger or telemetry is your best friend. (Events like Joe Nall are a different situation entirely.)
