HP calculators that use labels: 33S, 32SII, 15C, 41, 42S, 35S
(yes 35S does both, not a typo)

Some calculators that use both run programs faster with absolute addresses. When they execute GTO with a label, they have to search memory for the label.
Of course editing a program with labels is much easier since you don't have to manually adjust line number references.
