I return "this" from pretty much everything. I don't typically use it to chain methods because I find it harder to read, but if the next maintainer likes it the code is there for him to use :) One small additional benefit is where people new to the whole CFC thing use code like: <cfset object = object.setVar(val)> This actually works if you return "this", even if it is not good practice.
