Default IFR/Flight Following -- ATC Preferences?

Do you prefer to have me on a full IFR flight plan? (I always cancel when I
have the airport in sight if the destination is non-towered.)


I was told by some of the smaller ATC facilities (there are three TRSAs
just beyond of my class C airport) that they prefer I file IFR. The reason
they gave is that total IFR flights through their airspace are counted and
used when justifying the expense of keeping an ATC facility open.

FWIW.
