The biggest issue related to the single site colleciton vs. multiple is the ability to drill down and find information manually. Every companies biggest hurdle is understanding that SharePoint is not just a single web site. It is a complete environment for your company. Also, companies love to adapt new technology, but their mindset on doing business never changes. Meaning that I contain all my customer information in a single manilla folder in a single drawer file cabinet. As I atract more customers I will need to adjust my organizational needs. I don't want to get big new fancy multi-drawer file cabinet and organize my information the same way in the sinlge manilla folder. I would need to re-think my methods, which include identifying the benefits of the new file cabinet and utilizing them to best fit my needs.
