Is there any way I can force Preview to always show the table of contents when opening a PDF? Most of the PDFs I use have a ToC, so this would save me the extra step from having to enable the ToC after opening the PDF.

This works for me on Mountain Lion:
Open all the JPG's in Preview so that the files are selectable within the one window, i.e. thumbnails of the JPG's are viewable in the selection pane located the window's left side.
Click in the selection pane and select all the thumbnails with Cmd-A.
Select File > Print... from the menu bar.
Select PDF > (from the drop down) Save as PDF... from within the Print Dialog.
Take it from there...
If you don't want any borders, create a custom paper size and change margin size to 0 as shown below:
Name your custom paper size, use it and create PDF.

This is currently not possible to be set as default in Preview. The closest you can get to this is Preferences → Opening for the first time: Always show sidebar. However, the sidebar that opens is the default thumbnail view, not the TOC.
