I was originally using POST for the same reason, however I discovered that Tomcat could easily be configured to accept any length URI. All it requires is specifying the maxHttpHeaderSize attribute in your default Connector in server.xml. I set my value to 1MB, which is certainly excessive, but it ensures I will never hit the limit. As the other chap mentioned, I now have the benefits of caching and most importantly, proper web logs!
I also have a similar situation where I constrain the search results based on the user's role. I have only two roles to support, so my case is very simple, but I could imagine having a multivalued "role" field that you could perform facet queries on.
