I think I'd prefer the address book method of specifying signatures rather than a filter option. The reason is that I tend to use one filter to deal with both incoming and outgoing email, so I wouldn't be able to have just one filter per addressee any more; I'd have to have one filter for filing the message (applies to incoming AND outgoing mail) and one for attaching the sig (outgoing only). The address book method has a simplicity about it which gets slightly muddied at filter level, I feel.
Of course, another problem (with both methods) would be when you have a message going to more than one recipient and each recipient had a specified signature. Which would dominate?
