In my work project we do a rebase each time before pushing to master, I am not used to other methods. Each commit contain logically connected things - for example adding a variable in one file and using it in another. But merge commits break this rule - they contains random changes together. So my feeling is that with merge commits the history would be harder to review and debug but I have no practical experiences...
