My rationale for using prepare is so I can use placeholders, so I can have arbitrary numbers of columns, and don't have to think about whether I need quotes. But if one can use placeholders with do, that'd be even sweeter.

    You can use placeholders with do. Just make sure you use undef as the first param. 
    $dbh->do('insert into blah (?, ?, ?)', undef, $x, $y, $z);
