Personally, I just file individual legs for reasons listed above. When I flew freight, I'd get my clearance on my taxi-in at all the controlled fields, and use clearance delivery at uncontrolled ones, and let them know your going to be quick turning.
I was talking with a former controller about the 'Through Clearances' today. He said that it is available but he couldn't imagine a controller actually wanting to issue it since it would basically close down that airport for the time that you were on the ground and out of communication with ATC.
