It's true that a one-piece moveable bridge, such as a bolt, implies a certain degree of compromise, but historically it's a compromise that's worked OK on a lot of guitars. It also fits with the cheap-n-cheerful, improvised construction philosophy that's at the root of the CBG scene. And remember, even the intonation compensation that's possible with separately adjustable saddles is a compromise to some extent.

I guess it comes down to personal preferences and playing style. If you're going to play chords where you're fretting up at the high end of the neck then independent saddles might be called for. Other styles will be fine with a simple bridge.
