It's standard practice around here to use the device to continue the run
load. That's why it has two screws on each side. There are some
exceptions, as below:

Some areas require a pigtail for hots, but that's a local override.

The neutral must be pigtailed if it's for a split-wire circuit.

The ground generally needs to be pigtailed, but around here standard
practice if there are only two ground conductors is to use the two
screws in the box and continue one of the conductors on to the load.

Reducing the number of pigtails means that the box is less stuffed.
