I can answer that one....some will say no, but I say it is better. It is my understanding that internet sharing give you a NAT'd connection, so the IP address your laptop gets is not the same as the external IP address of the phone's connection to the internet. when you connect via the USBModem/WModem method, the phone doesn't do any of the NAT routing processes...it strictly acts just like a modem, thus the IP address your computer receives is your external ip address.
I'm not sure it has a tangible difference on speed, but I have noticed slightly lower latency that way. maybe i'ts all in my head, I don't know. But the connection seems a lot more stable using the modem method.
