There is no controversy... at least not when it comes to the 5D2. Expose for the highlights or slighty overexpose (if you think you will need to open up the shadows in PP). Definetely do not underexpose if you plan to do some PP. The 5D2 seems very sensitive to underexposure in the sense that it will produce nasty noise artifacts (banding among others) very quickly in the shadows.
5d2 hiccups anytime - 1/3 stops underexpose @800 iso under fluorescent lamp test
