I don't think it's necessarily better, it just works for me. I like it because I only need a small amount of weight to offset my negatively buoyant legs. If I ever needed more, I can simply clip the other ankle weight on for a total of 2.
A lot of people need much more weight, or think they do, so they use the rear pockets. Most of those are located on the lower tank strap (if the BC has 2.) This configuration works great if all you are doing is distributing weight around your body and effectively lightening your weight belt. This can also help stabilize and keep you upright on the surface when using a rear inflation style BC.
Sorry for the long winded answer, but I hope this helps!!
Short answer... Try out different configs and see what works for you. Every "body" is different so the amount and placement of trim weights is unique to each person.
