I think the list of all plugins wouldn't be too handy:
1. It could be too long
2. it requires entering an additional menu level.
3. it's hard to set a keyboard shortcut

So I prefer one simple menu item, either 'reload all loaded plugins' (what 
hopefully won't be too slowly) or configurable for one plugin you're just 
working on. The former is defininety simpler ;)

Oh and it's also a good solution, easier to configure.
