yes, verilog-ams is most useful.

Besides the analog behavioural modeling I mentioned, that is becoming 
the way that new models are being developed.  For example bsim is not 
the only model out there for FET's.  If you happen across a foundry that 
uses something other than bsim, you have an issue of making sure your 
simulator supports it. If you have verilog-ams support in the simulator 
you have a way to then support new models without spending all your time 
doing translation of model code.


I think you mentioned something about noise modeling of photo diodes. 
Verilog-AMS would give you a powerful tool to produce a model that more 
accurately described the noise you were interested in.
