The thing I don't like about session files is they save a whole lot
more than just the buffer list. Every setting is saved, and if
between uses you change something in your .vimrc, it will be over-
ridden by the session file.
My favorite way of addressing this is to create two modules specific
to the project. First, for example, I would create a module 'fb' on
my ~/bin path and make it executable. It would contain something
simple like
#!/bin/bash
gvim -S ~/.vim/foobar.vim
Then in my ~/.vim path I would create a module called foobar.vim
containing the list of files I want to start with for the foobar
project, as follows:
badd foo.vim
badd bar.vim
This gives you control over what opens, uses the settings in your
.vimrc, and leaves vim alone to be used for other projects without
those files being opened

I try to avoid all plugins -- they are a source of unexpected
behavior.
