If it's loud and it needs to be loud, I'd rather use headphones. Occasional brief blast with the cans off to check I'm still calibrated right, but otherwise I'll keep them on. I can hear details better at lower levels, and I'm not beholden to the vagaries of earplug frequency responses.

Loud in this context doesn't necessarily mean loud for the punters. A mix position a few feet directly in front of a speaker in a small venue is not necessarily the best place to mix from!
