A strong argument for using a links redirection script/database (flatfile or otherwise) is to make it infinitely more efficient to maintain the myriad of programs that change links, backends, etc.
Some of use use such a script to also capture click information such as referring url, zone/placement/campaign, and related parameters, which further assist in determining effective placement and conversion tweaking.
If you use a redirection system of any kind, I would certainly recommend adding robots.txt file rule to instruct robots not to follow your redirection file or folder, and I'd also recommend adding a nofollow attribute to the outgoing link.
