Using the ibi/ebi notation is fine when it is written, especially when you have base 2 and 10 in the same document.
Speaking it however makes you sound like you have a speach impediment and non geeks will think your're a moron. You can deduce the base of the unit from context most of the time and when you can't, unlike when reading, I can ask you for clarification right away.
