I disable the base curve with most images. As I understand it, the fact that the base curve comes early in the processing pipeline means that you are losing highlights early, befor you can do stuff to differentiate the tones better. Getting them back after they have been crushed by the base curve is IMHO more difficult. When the base curve is turned off, I use the tone curve for contrast, and a bit of equalizer for the details.
