I continue to use recursion where it's difficult to implement an algorithm without (lots of tree structures come to mind), or where unrolling the recursion makes it harder to understand. So long as it isn't too deep it's fine.
Ah yes, if the amount of data is pretty deterministic and small and the iterative version is too cumberstone I do the same.
