Air travel: No, you can't carry canisters on a plane. You buy them at your destination.
Leaks: Are very rare but I usually carry 2 small canisters.
Stove Breaks: You'd be screwed with any stove.
Run out of fuel: Planning will prevent this.
Tons of fuel: Canisters are not heavy at all.
Hiking out: Empty canisters weigh less than full canisters. Not a big pain.

I'd buy a canister (obviously because I did) but to be honest, it's all a matter of personal taste.
