I think leakdown numbers are an important trend to follow, and if done correctly can provide a lot of info about where problems might be arising (rings, valves, loose/broken head studs).

If your mechanically inclined, for less than a hundred bucks you can own your own tester -

Same as Snap-on I believe

Every valve adjust I'll do a leakdown test, listening at the crankcase vent, exhaust and intake and document my results. Worthwhile piece of mind and probably valuable info if you were ever to sell.
