How about taking the approach of a file server. Have what is being created inherit from its parent. This kinda gives everyone what they want... If you always make your content available to everyone then inherently it will be. If, you usually control the visibility then it will inherit the control you have put on the Category or Section it lives in.

Personally, my help center is divided by a number of my large clients (each client has a Category) with some Categories available to everyone. So, by default, I would want any Articles or Sections I am working on to inherit the same permissions of its parent Section or Category it lives in.
