All depends on how your setting the title and other header info. I have sub-includes per section that see the section and uses a switch to put the right header info in place. For the lists, the header comes from the DB anyway so nothing passed. My issue against custom tags is that they are a separate cf 'instance' which is segmented from the calling page. This means that it has all of the CGI, form, url, etc. variables set for the page are duplicated for this new 'instance'. More memory usage. If all I need is to pass in a specific variable, I can just do a CFSET before the CFINCLUDE. The choice is a set before the include which is part of the calling page or a new page which has lots of data passed into it. I'm for the first. I only use custom tags when I really want a segmented module call.
