Setting heading indicator in climb?

Hello,

I was just wanting an opinion regarding aligning the heading indicator with the magnetic compass during climb. In Europe I was taught to NEVER set it during climb, but here in the US I have been taught to do it.

As long as the aircraft is in a climb and not in an accelerated climb all the forces are acting equal upon the aircraft, and therefore the HI can be set? That is my opinion, please comment.
