As a general rule for dev work, trying to make evidence based decisions is fairly difficult. There's just not that much evidence around yet that can make it obvious as to if in your particular situation what the best choice might be.
And at the end of the day you have to contend with being in a work environment where politics and personalities rule, not science (or engineering).
That said I do wish more devs would take an interest in the available quality literature. Unfortunately I'm far more likely at work to run into an Uncle Bob recommendation at work, than a recommendation of ACM's Digital Library.
