Well, the way I have it set up now is a combination of the two. I think we definitely need to keep the "function which rotate the image only on the screen" (no writing done). Then, I used the "External programs" shortcut to be able to modify the Exif tag. I never hard-rotate any images. I assume all display tools read the exif tag and rotate post-loading.
