but seriously, is it not better to have the ozone in the skimmer so all the crud it nukes can be taken away right there?

The thing about Ozone is that it destroys the "nutrients" that make up the "Crud" that the skimmer produces. So essentially, the 2 compete with each other, not compliment. When you use ozone, you should see a reduction in skimate.
I am not really sure about flow through the skimmer. Perhaps some of the new ones are better. I guess what you really want to be sure of is that your water to air contact time is maximized if you do decide to use a skimmer.
Regardless of how you are doing it, there is nothing like the crystal clear water produced with Ozone. It is really amazing.
