Personally, if you get out of customs within 10 mins of a train departure to Tel Aviv, I think that's the way to go, its cheap and quick, especially if there's bad traffic. You can always grab a much cheaper local cab at Azrieli or Arlozorov.
I use Gett but I don't really find it so much better aside from the cash situation.
