Personally I'd rather combine the two. The point being, broken repositories do happen -- for instance, when the file system is inconsistent after a crash, or when the referent of an info/alternates directory vanishes. :-/

I'd rather have a simple repair flag than do a "download everything again and then throw most of it away" job when something like that happens.
