BCC works great, but a lot of spam filters will catch

number of BCC's on a single mail piece.
You are contradicting yourself. Most mailing list programs put all recipients in Bcc: and queue only on message, so it is the same thing that you are recommending against and for it.

Spam filters that discard messages which the recipients are in Bcc: are wrong, just like everybody that filters messages with general criteria like that. Anyway, it is their problem if they discard messages arbitrarily.

Some ISP of shared servers disallow messages sent to many recipients regardless if you send them with recipients in Bcc or in separate messages. Sending in separate messages gives more load to the server and takes much longer to queue so it may annoy your ISP than just sending all in Bcc.

You need to check with the ISP if sending to many recipients respects the acceptable use policy. If they don't accept bulk mailing, it doesn't matter the method you use.
