I use both for different situations. Note attached: These are attached to a particular note, in only one staff, or even layer. I use them for anything that is staff specific. I also use them for cresc. etc, even if there is the same expression in every staff, unless I am working on very large scores, which I don't do very often. Measure attached: These can be used both on individual staves and on several or all staves. My main use for them is for expressions that appear in different staves for scores and parts. Eg, tempo indications, like Allegro, should appear on the top staff of every group in the score, but they should appear on _every_ part. Using measure attached expressions and a staff list this is easily done. I have never understood quite why some people recommend to use only note attached expressions, other than when copying music from one doc to another the staff lists of measure attached expressions are lost.
