Are you using microdrives or real flash memory? Flash memory is extremely durable. My entire wallet of cards lived through the washing machine AND dryer once without a single issue. My 4Gb microdrive was much less durable, though. Plus I'd expect the lifecycle of the card interface to be quite a few more cycles than the camera cable connection, not to mention the risk of yanking the camera off the desk with the cable, etc.
Different strokes for different folks, of course.

Since I only shoot on vacation I rarely fill up a card. I've fixed a few cameras with bent or busted pins and it's not fun. Sides the cards are quite fragile.
