4,630 PointsIt's my understanding that em is usually most helpful if you want to set a value of something relative to its parent. Otherwise - yeah, rem seems to make the most sense to use. Like I said, I believe em is mostly just a convenient way of keeping things very relevant within a parent element.
I'm just a student though; this is my peer-to-peer understanding.
