I've never worried about cold break material in the fermenter. I've always used a counter-flow chiller, and gone straight from the kettle to the fermenter. Primary ferment rarely exceeds 7-10 days. I've only ever brewed ales, and would likely continue that for the foreseeable future.
The question is, if I adopt LoDo methods, is there any reason to be more concerned about cold break? I suppose I could rig my pump for recirculation/whirlpool at the end of the boil, but is it really worth the extra fuss and added oxidation risk (ie. cavitation, leaky valves, etc)?
