I would say Luis Gonzalez likely used, but he was a choir boy compared to the other infamous guys like Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod, Sosa, etc - to try and expose him as a steroid cheat would be vindictive.
I also believe that steroids / PEDs have different effects on players - your mileage may vary, where users are likely to have outlier batting seasons but also revert back to reasonable numbers.
A benefit is feeling stronger over the course of the season - where you may hit 5-10 more home runs, when you are not so run down with all the number of games played.
