Unfortunately no. In some regards I wouldn't want it to default to visible only, because later down the road I may have a desire to make something visible. Sure, I can view hidden, but sometimes just seeing it in the list makes me onder if there is a way can place it in my site in some nice way.
It's a bit of a pain having to select visible each time we go to the admin, I agree, but something more I would like to see is that it remembers your preference for the duration of your session at least. I don't particularly like having to set visible everytime I update something on the admin page.
I know, it's minor, but hey, it's all about me!
