As far as downsides of a full reset, I dislike the way my inspect panels are cluttered with reset information for each element. Having switched to normalize a few months ago, inspection tools now hold only the relevant CSS rules for the item I'm inspecting.
And I'm not sure why a CSS reset would make you consider each design decision; most design work should be done prior to coding, and its a rare instance that I don't replace most defaults.
