I've always been a fan of using JCache's method cache for this very reason. It is a lot easier to cache all of the required data for a view this way, and you're protected from silly URL shenanigans as you end up only using the key that you wanted, in an explicit manner.
I think we all pretty much agree that view caching is only useful for generic, public pages - which most likely are cached as blocks and not at the view layer anyway.
That said, Joomla's cache is in dire need of some lovin'.
