Good use for Galena hops?

They have a nice neutral flavour so I use them to bitter pretty much everything unless I'm first wort hopping. They do work really well in IPA as it lets you save quite a bit of money on the [generally] more expensive flavour and aroma hops. Stouts as well since you generally just want the bitterness and little to no hop flavour and aroma is evident.
I use them in APA's for bittering and FWH and to bitter stouts

I made an Irish Red Ale with them one time...it was an extract kit from Northern Brewer. It was very good!
Good clean bittering hop. It is also rumored to have a nice aroma, although I haven't used it much myself.

I would use them for anything other than a non-american beer that I plan to enter in competition!
