You're making this more complicated than it needs to be. Everyone's code has lots of CFIF tags. If you have simple conditional questions, use CFIF/CFELSEIF/CFELSE. If you have an expression with many possible values, use CFCASE. If you want to throw an exception in some condition, use CFTRY/CFCATCH. But don't worry about which is "right", because it just doesn't make a significant difference.
