Single run loops are a common design when using uninitialized shift registers. I have personally stated to move away from this, towards feedback nodes. This is mostly due to some misunderstandings with junior programmers. I find that feedback nodes offer more information at first glance. This is particularly important for code review. This however, comes with the risk of sloppy looking code. I believe uninitialized shift registers, used in single run loops have some overhead due to the loop. I am unsure of how the compiler optimizations affect this. I often will use them interchangably.
