[jQuery] Any benefit to using event.preventDefault() over "return false" to cancel out an href click?

[kgosser]

Just curious if there is a best practice when choosing between

$("a").click(function(){
   // stuff
   return false;
});

and

$("a").click(function(){
   // stuff
   event.preventDefault();
});

to cancel out the href of an anchor when clicked.

Thanks in advance for the help.
