I'm maintaining the Capabilty Manager plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/
I think to manage capabilities at user level makes it a bit confusing as it
makes a bit difficult to follow who has what capabilities. I recommend only
managing capabilities at role level (not in a user basis).

Maintaining this plugin, the most asked question and the feature most
requested from MU users had been to provide a way to disallow managing
capabilities at blog level and to force them at site level. An option to
allow that to site admins would be really a valuable setting.
