Are there reasons to not mix units in CSS?

When doing responsive designs I often need to have a percentage margin horizontally, but vertically I usually don't want to have percentage, but rather fixed pixels.

Are there any reasons why I shouldn't be mixing units in my margins and paddings like this:

margin: 10px 10%;

Browser performance? Cross browser rendering issues?

As long as you're maintaining that vertical is pixel based and horizontal is percentage based, you should be fine. Just don't mix the two (at least not within a single element), or you'll get undesired effects across the board.
