Statins - miracle or menace?

Having had a medical hiccup it's been suggested that I should take statins (despite not having high cholesterol) on the basis that there is apparently some evidence that they are generally a "good thing". When I look around I see people saying they're dreadful, cause memory loss, and might be the cause of nearly half the world's ailments.

What's the opinion of the medical pilot community on statins? (references to back-up assertions would be good!)
