Default Alternator wiring

I'm wiring the electrical system in my Glasair 3, and would like to
know how most builders wire the alternator. It seems every diagram I
get from Bob Nuckolls shows the alternator supply wire (B) connecting
to the input side of the starter contactor. But the wiring diagrams
from B&C show the B wire going directly to the supply or main bus
through a circuit breaker of appropriate amps. The main difference I
see is with Nuckolls method, the alternator has to send it's current
through the battery contactor. Where as the B&C diagram bypasses it
and goes directly to the main bus. Which is better?
