It is really up to you.

To me, it will be much easier to parse the bytes log than the XML file. log file is pretty small and can be deleted after processing, diskspace is not a concern to me unless your sites were getting >300hits/secs.

As to running out of file descriptors, OS limit is can be set to over 100K, to me, should not be a concern even for hosting >1000 accounts.
