Re: inherits transform

Bear in mind ChldComp is exactly what the name says, a compensation, and it's scene scoped.
If you were to key a few things using child compensation to help keeping things in place it might look right at the moment, but as soon as you'd edit the fcurves it would all go out of the window.

Rig structure and turning the constrain options on or off is how I do it too.

Hierarchies are convenient to represent and organize thing in general, but internally to the scene description objects are probably flattened out, and relationships like hierarchical transforms ARE ultimately constraints.
