I advocate for declaring post thumbnails in your theme. It's much cleaner and you don't have to rely on a separate plugin.

I agree, it's much cleaner to use the built-in features of Wordpress.

That said, this post is more of a gloss than an in-depth examination - this combination of plugin, template code, etc. can be used for considerably more complex purposes.
