Depends on what you are using them for. Timers in general are a good choise! But be aware, that Timers do not work precise.

Whats the usecase?

I use them a lot, just be sure to shut them off when not in use to conserve memory.

Make sure to remove the event listeners on the timer as well.  If you do not, then the timer may not be correctly disposed.  This will cause all objects in your view and/or ui component to not release their memory, leading to a leak which could be very difficult to track down.
