A lot of people do the latter. I prefer to avoid if I can

Stan's right, but don't cut it too close or you may get vectored anyway.
Your GPS may show you missing some SUA by 3 or 4 miles, but that's often
not
far enough for the controller's comfort.

Yes, I have noticed the same thing. I have filed a route that cleared the
area by 3 miles (per chart) but got vectored anyway. Not often, though.
