The most successful sites generally have a consistent theme across all
pages, or at least across groups of pages relating to the same subject.
If you change themes/design on every page, your visitors will have to
relearn for each page. Not a good idea.
Use one CSS stylesheet for the whole site, and - if necessary - place
the rare "used-once" styles in the head section of the individual pages.
Careful planning negates the use of "styles for each type of <div> and
<span>".

Your style sheet would be loaded and cached upon first visit, and not
needed to be downloaded for each subsequent page. So a few extra styles
in the sheet are not a penalty.
