I disagree.
Why is it "better"? SetVariable is just another redundant function to
learn, another syntax to look up. I believe there actually IS some
circumstance where you MUST use it, but I just can't recall when.
<CFSET "edname#numvar#" = "test"> does exactly what you would expect and
hope. It's simple (as in Occam's Razor simple), elegant and effective. Why
do string concatenation using ampersands instead of just embedding variables
inside your strings? Is it a 'classier' technique, perhaps?
As with most languages, you only need to use 50% (or even less) of a CF's
functions to do 99% of the stuff that you would ever want to do.
Coincidentally, using just that 50% makes your code easier to work with for
other average mortals.
Everybody wins when you stick to basics!!

Using SetVariable is better
<cfset setvariable("Edname" & numvar, "test")>
