If your primary concern is preventing information leakage, then a
publish model is absolutely what you want. You definetely don't want
some random intermediary file out on the server, or some file that was
never checked into source control.

By publish, I don't just mean to the public server, I also mean to
whatever development roots you have.

With a good publishing model and a good SCM, you also get
reproducibility and testability as well. Its easy to ensure that what
is checked into source control is what you are testing, and its easy
to rollback production servers to a different version.
