YMMV, but I find it easier and faster to know the basic utilities and how to compose them with pipes than remembering the name of a zillion such scripts.

I guess it depends on how often you need that particular pipeline. Every day? Sure, make a script. Every few months? Nah, I won't remember it anyway,or probably I remember that I've made a script like that but then I have to start searching my bin directory in the end using more time than just writing the pipeline in the first place.
