If you over grease it the same thing happens as when you over oil it. If you have to use a degreaser on your gun than your using the wrong grease anyway. If you were to look at my gun you would thing it was oiled but it it's actually greased lightly. You are correct about the set it and forget it thing. You can't do that with oil or grease. When I was in Iraq I started greasing my M4 about halfway through and it ran like a dream. It was only a little bit harder to clean and it ran so much better it was totally worth it. Your right it collects sand and crap, but so did the oil. The only thing you can lube a weapon with that won't attract crap is graphite and that blows away very quickly, especially with the direct impingement of most AR's. I think you should be cleaning your carry weapon twice a week. I think 10 days is too long and 30 is an awful idea.
Great breakdown on the light/medium/heavy lube.
