I'm currently drawing borders like so:
begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
a & b & c \\
\hline
d & e & f \\
\hline
g & i & j \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
However, this requires a \hline between every row. Is there a concise, and preferable native, method of drawing all borders?
Since you say you are open to using a different table environment, try tabu. It has many options including \everyrow{}, which can be used to insert lines at every row.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabu}
\begin{document}
\everyrow{\hline}
\begin{tabu}{|c|c|c|}
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\
g & i & j \\
\end{tabu}
\end{document}
tabu has some bugs which will not be fixed until the next version. On ctan, the latest version appears to be from 2011, which indicates to be that the 'next version' is not out yet. Will any updates affect my work in the next year or so?

tabu has some issues, and not everyone is a fan. I use it often though and don't have problems. I think it's more or less abandoned by its developer, so I wouldn't hold my breath for updates.

tabular? If you are open to using a different table environment, you can usetabuwith\everyrow{\hline}. – David Purton Sep 4 '18 at 10:31
