Hi Taqdir, It is the same thing. When you configure "ip accounting" with no parameters it will do accounting for egress traffic only. In fact, if you configure "ip accounting" and hit enter and then look at your running config you will see that it actually will change it to "ip accounting output-packets"
To answer your other question, yes that is what I would do since ip accounting measures egress traffic.
