Annexin V vs TUNEL

We have been using the TUNEL assay and dual staining for either surface 
lymphocyte markers or internal staining for expression of a virus protein.  
These cells (freshly isolated and short term cultured bovine peripheral blood 
lymphocytes) are then analyzed by FACS.  We have been getting very inconsistent 
results....sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, or results make no sense.  

Would we be better off switching to Annexin V for these dual staining studies 
which require either concurrent external staining (B and T lymphocyte subsets)
or internal staining (viral protien) for the second molecule of interest?
