Default Fertilizing: Cakes vs Powder

Every year about this time I start thinking about a topic with many opinions
which is how to apply organic fertilizer. The two main camps I have come
across are Use Cakes as spreading powder across the top continually will
form a crust which will hinder proper watering and Use Powder as cakes can
cause hot spots and do not spread the fertilizer evenly. Now I know that
you can break up crusts as they form on the soil surface and am not sure if
a hindering crust will actually form if you repot every year. I also know
that a mild organic fertilizer will most likely not cause a hot spot and
that you can put enough cakes on the surface to allow sufficient spreading
of the fertilizer as it dissolves. So what is you take on this?
