I never purge the bottles and they are fine for a few weeks (never kept much longer than that). I use a length of hose to the bottom of bottle, fill to top then slowly remove and cap on foam. Not much O2 remains.

A growler would offer less oxygen headspace per beer. 5 beers almost no headspace

I only purge bottles if I'm sending them into a competition or if I'm going to be storing them for awhile before drinking, like a big stout. I always just fill them like Geoff said with a long enough hose to fill from the bottom of the bottle if you're consuming pretty quickly.
Cap on foam. Certainly if you're going to drink them within a day, it won't matter much, but i always cap on foam regardless.
And yes, growlers are a more convenient form than bottles, usually. There even is a half-growler that you can get as well. They're a pretty good intermediate size between bottle and growler.
