I'd have to agree with you both. During warm up, I think its beneficial to not run heat to get the fastest warm up. However, once it is warmed up I see no problem with blasting as much heat into the cabin as you want. I don't think you'll see much of a decrease in effeciency as the engine is already producing tons of excess heat.
