Anyway, imagine if Kershner returned to do ROTJ following after his successful ESB...

I highly doubt ROTJ would be much different film in its core. After all it was still Lucas who was creative director behind ESB and ROTJ.

But now that Lucas isn't actively involved any more, the films could be quite different with different director. So in this respect I agree with you that it might be better to keep one director throughout the ST, if EP7 doesn't suck of course.

I partially agree with this, because with Lucas wanting to take back the reigns after the over budget ESB and Kersh wanting to do what he wanted to do, clashes would have happened and Lucas would either have retreated to sulk (good film) or, more likely, would have sacked Kersh and done his own thing (similar film or worse than now).
