Every time I have refused to settle during tracking I have ended up with better results. Some have said that the guitars and drums sound great, well, it was because I tracked them how I wanted them.

You want options because you may like one option over the other when mixing. Lots of people do this.
Take kicks for example beta 52 or D112+ SM91 = bad ass kick shaping.
Mic and DI bass in case one or the other works better in the mix.
Simple things like that. I don't mean put 5 mics on a snare or something lol.
