I usually prefer ReadP for quick stuff, for an unknown reason.  I
guess it feels like there is less infrastructure to penetrate, it
gives me the primitives and I structure the parser according to my
needs.

But yeah, I think parser combinators are the way to go.  It's really
not much work at all once you get the hang of it.
