Per the advice from this list, I picked up the lightroom book by Resnick and Spritzer (not to be confused with Resnick and Halliday). They make a big deal that you should format the card in your camera after every use, and that you shouldn't delete the last file written to the card.
I have never seen that it makes any difference whatsoever whether I format a card or delete all. I only use delete all when I've got a card of mixed stuff that I want to keep some things around on ... I set the Protect option on those things and Delete All clears out everything else. Otherwise, I just Format the card after use because it's faster and easier to do. ALWAYS in the camera ONLY.
I've done this with every flash media I've owned since the beginning. Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, CF, SD, SDHC, xD ... all of them. No difference at all.
