If it's not restricted and produces the same results it's fair game, however read your lab restrictions and questions very carefully. Also I wouldn't say it's a bad habit since this is the ONLY way to configure IPv6 routing protocols. In other words there are no "network" statements for RIPng, EIGRPv6, or OSPFv3 for IPv6. That being said I chose to stick with "network" statements where possible because I like having the ability to see everything under the routing process, just my .002.

Since discovering the "ip ospf X area Y" interface command, I've been strongly preferring this for assigning interfaces to areas in my labs. Little chance for accidentally enabling OSPF on too many interfaces, and just more obvious to my eyes. Clearly if a task were to demand that the interfaces be enabled using only a router configuration command (or without any interface-level commands), or required enabling OSPF on multiple interfaces with a single command, or something to that effect, then using a 'network' statement under OSPF would be required. Otherwise, any reason not to continue to use the interface command if I'm not otherwise restricted from doing so? The solution guides in all the workbooks I'm working through seem to default to using the network statement, but if there's no restriction can I not just opt to use the interface-level command instead? Just making sure I'm not getting into a bad habit by accident...
