No, U-Boot does not implement any preferences here, i. e. both
methods can be used out of the box.  It is just the preference of
the user who decides which way to go - using the file system seems
more flexible to some unsers, while others care about the additional
boot time needed to mount the file system or the additional memory
footprint needed for the file system code.

Your choice.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
