I've done both, formally and informally, and I've found that crit-as-you-go definitely leads me into a fussy over-revising cycle, as you surmise. Yes, I've learned some very useful things in the early critting, but I'm not sure they were worth the interruption of flow.
Having said that, I think it's valuable to try any and everything you feel like trying, because who knows? Every writer is different, everyone's process is different. You can't know what's going to work for you until you try it.
