I think that is generally better if you don't have anything above the cieling because then you don't have to worry about the rules regarding how large if holes you can drill in rafters so you don't impact their structural integrity.

I'm definitely going the bored holes route, but I'm guessing I should probably still install some plates to make sure that whoever installs the sheetrock (if isn't myself) doesn't use the wrong size screws and drills right into the wire. It's funny you mention rafters, as my builder laid the wire for my garage lighting on top of the rafters, no holes or stapling was done as far as I can tell.
