Can't answer, because your question and answer options don't match.
I rotate between households so that I can continue to progress my active family, who are multiple generations in multiple homes in the same save - only two, so far, but my younger second generation boys are all teens, now, and will be moving out some day. I'll keep them in the mix, too. They don't stop being related when they marry and have kids of their own. It's just a bigger family.
I rotate and for the first time I'm not bored. I got so easily bored with my families in TS3 that I had about dozens of abandoned saves. Now I have just two save files in TS4 (one that I actively play and one that I'm trying to rebuild) and I love it. However I also have few "main" households that I prefer to play in.
I rotate through several households/families. In one save I have a family that is four generations deep that is very difficult to play with the way Sims4 is set up. It began as a couple then progressed on with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. And I play with aging off because I am a control freak. That save has a total of around sixty Sims, I believe. I play it from time to time but not as much as more content is added to the game. After Seasons was added I downsized my new saves to allow for just three families to rotate through. And I have stopped allowing my couples to have more than two children. I am big on playing families, but I do it on a much smaller scale now. I don't play just one household per save. I prefer to start with six young adults, have them all become good friends then see who each one prefers as a life partner. As the families grow and chidren come along, they remain friends and do things as a group or form clubs.
In 4 the only viable option is single household. Gets to be an impossible tangle otherwise. In 2, however, rotational, sometimes involving the entire town/world. Sims stay where I put them so the only havoc is from playing, not them running amok on their own.
Not sure which way to vote, TBH. I start with 1 HH and usually end up rotating as the family grows, or if I'm in a simmer's custom save, I will rotate from one HH to another to fully explore what that simmer has created.
Don't anger the fruit. It may make her toot (at you).
I have many saves, but mostly focus on one household per save. That said, I do pop into other households on occasion to tweak things to my liking, and have one dedicated rotation save as well.
I always stick to one household per play, the only times I play other households in the same game is when I'm getting my sim some grandkids, for example, then it's straight back to my original household once it's done.
Even if I start with one sim, eventually I end up with 4 or 5 in my rotation. I end up adding in their BFF's family's and, of course, the kids as they age up and marry, etc.

I like to mix up my play styles, I have to admit.
