I like the dash - for it reinjects speed in speech. Doesn't mean I diss the rest. Variety's a pleasure.
I've got a friend who would never punctuate anything. Reading her makes me kinda angry - why she would deprive herself of playing with the reader's breath I never undestood. She's a Marguerite Duras fan and claim that it all came from there. We had a discussion about the difference between ; and - (some topic isn't it?), once, and this lead me to my current choice - though I cast lots of , & ; to see on the page the rhythm in my head.
Don't feel proud when I use ! and ... As if I had missed something in explaining myself.
That's a pleasant thread, really.
