IMHO, double-tap modifiers are rare and should be kept for system wide shortcuts.
I use:
2 x cmd for LaunchBar activation
2 x opt for LaunchBar Instant Send
2 x fn to activate iTerm
2 x ctrl to open a Finder's window
2 x shift to activate TextMate
Fortunately for me, I use double shift for TM so I can deactivate it when TM is at the front, but I still think that if you want to use double-tap modifiers, you should provide a way to deactivate it and use a normal shortcut instead.
