I use it on the FFG at least as much as I use the passive sonar, probably more. With surface ships stealth is not so much of an issue and there's a lot of advantages to going faster, so I tend to go active. Particularly against a quiet diesel electric it's probably the best way to go. I also usually use active sonobuoys against diesel electric submarines.
With submarines the advantages are less clear. I can't think of any time I've used active sonar in a submarine.
