When do you let them keep the hook???

I'm a big fan of letting the fish keep the hook if it looks a little deep or a difficult extraction and have caught more than a few with trailing leaders from the last guy who got broken off.
I guess I was just curious how impaired a bass is with a hook in the gullet and how long until a non-stainless hook rusts out? It's alot easier to cut the line than save a hook and must be easier on the fish.
I don't like or use circle hooks but I DON'T gut hook many fish with an octopi I just pull the trigger a little sooner.
