[Avodah] Asking your questions to one authority

I'm looking for sources concerning a requirement or good advice concerning asking all your questions to one authority. According to some commentaries the mishna (actually mentioned twice) in Avot concerning aseih lcha rav points in this direction as does the gemara in eiruvin on not picking all the leniencies of both beit hillel and shammai. OTOH the gemara in avodah zara about not asking 2 rabbis is interpreted as applying only to the particular question at hand.

From a Brisker theory angle wouldn't the existence of overarching theoretical constructs argue that all your questions should go to one authority so as to avoid the possible tartei dsatrei on a meta-theory basis (i.e. psak in kashrut case a may share a construct with psak in business case b)?
