The metric system, or to be more precise the SI units, are an international standard. If you want to be taken seriously around the world you should use the proper units.

Also SI is easy to understand and use. The units are simple to scale up and down, everything moves in thousands, and all units can be defined in terms of the seven base units, so it is a complete and self contained system, unlike all other systems that came before.
