I prefer the single file, for the reasons you describe.

This is not totally true. You can add your directory of org notes to
your org-agenda-files, e.g.

(setq org-agenda-files '("~/path/to/org-notes"))

and it will add all org files in that directory to your agenda. If you
use helm, it is probably easy to search all of the files too.
