It is easier this way with heading sizes and much more flexible. I suppose you need to decide what is appropriate for each document. For some a whole space after paragraphs is fine and others a half space may work better depending on the amount of content etc. Its nice if all lines line up though which obviously doesn't happen with half spaces after paragraphs. Also, sometimes with smaller text I will you set it so every other line or every third line lines up. You can do this on InDesign really easily as well by setting align to baselin grid to first line only. Yes I do this too. It is easier this way with heading sizes and much more flexible.
