Mixing During Production?

Hello all, I produce and mix my own music, and in the Fix the Mix challenges, these processes are clearly delineated with gain staging and basically starting the mix process from scratch. I usually mix a bit as I produce - volume, panning, some effects etc. Is it really a lot better to bounce and everything and do a separate mixing session, or is it okay to mix as you go; what are the pros and cons, and any tips for mixing as you go to keep it clean and such?

Thanks all : )
