A lot depends on your topology, the size of your OSPF domain, the number
of exits to the Internet, and so on.

For example, suppose you had a small company network of less than 100
routers and a single egress point to the Internet. There would be no
point in injecting external LSAs into OSPF and filling up routing tables
with unnecessary routes. A single default route pointing to the ASBR
would suffice.

The answer is, it depends.
