i see <cfoutput> as being similar to starting a car, and </cfoutput> as similar to shutting it off.
I wouldn't stop/start the car at every corner (or every streetlight/stopsign) that I came to. Altho...I also wouldn't leave it running overnight just so I wouldn't have to start it in the morning (trying to keep running with the same analogy as it relates to a lone <cfoutput> at the top of the page and a lone </cfoutput> at the bottom). for your specific example, i would certainly suggest a single set of <cfoutput></cfoutput> surrounding the entire <select></select>.
