I'm in the "just make it good" camp on this. Some times, what the song needs is a single chord progression all the way through (I have a few of those) and other times it needs the chorus and verse to be completely different (I have a few of those as well). The question should always be: what does the song need?
I.e. don't put in a bridge, just because a lot of great songs happen to have a bridge. Put in a bridge when the song needs it!

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
