The best of both worlds should be: A commit series from a feature branch,
merged into the target branch. This allows using "commit^..commit" to view all
the changes in one go against the target branch, while just "commit" will show
the series and it evolved on the feature branch.

Rebasing the feature branch also makes this nicer to read, as it omits
possibly frequent back-merges from the target into the feature branch as it
was being worked on.
