Another good reason to use ng-bind is that you have your UI ready to localization and could save a lot of work later on. We use a combination of ng-bind and ng-cloak, where the first page view is fairly light so the loading time is insignificant. It's also an easy matter to write your own Loading directive which could pop up a loading notification modal for example, though I personally tend to hate those - I'd rather have a light page view that shows me something to start looking at and have the main data lazy-load in the background.
